#TrainingAVAF
The collaboration of the Valencian Antifraud Agency with the universities of the Valencian Community is more and more frequent. In the 2022-2023 academic year, the Faculty of Law of the University of Valencia has included the AVAF University Docufòrum activity in the Center Innovation Project (PIC).
The #DocufòrumAVAF is an activity aimed at promoting a social culture of civic ethics, public integrity, fraud prevention and rejection of corruption among students of all University degrees.
On this occasion, a #DocufòrumAVAF was held in the university extension course “Participation of citizens in the Democracy of the European Union”, organized by the Jean Monnet Citizens’ Integration into European Union Democracy Module, whose director is the professor of Administrative Law of the University of Valencia, María Jesús García.
On Monday, February 6, 2023, the #DocufòrumAVAF took place, with the participation of 13 students from different degrees of the University of Valencia, with the collaboration of Professor María Jesús García. Marita Oliver, a training technician, was responsible for the AVAF for energizing the session with the students.
After watching the documentary “Corruption: Harmful Organism”, the students ask questions, which in this case focused on the origin and causes of corruption, the social impact and collective costs it entails, the perception of corruption in our society and in other neighboring countries, or why there is no institution similar to the AVAF at the state level.
Subsequently, the AVAF representative discusses with the students the issues raised in their questions and others related to the need for greater public ethics and integrity, as well as prevention and civic training policies or the functions and powers of the Valencian Agency. Anti-fraud and public policies to fight corruption in the Valencian Community and in Europe.
The students showed interest in how to report and the powers of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, in the need for control and prevention entities, as well as in the protection of public personnel who report possible cases of fraud.
The activity has been organized in collaboration with the University of Valencia, which we thank for its interest and willingness to help create a culture of public integrity and rejection of fraud and corruption.
