Students' Forum
For the first time a Students' Forum was held as part of the main programme of the 10th International Anti-Corruption Conference. Each day during the morning sessions of the IACC, four students presented their papers and an interesting discussion followed. There were a wide variety of topics, such as corruption in education, corruption in the business and health sectors, and corruption and organised crime. The students had the opportunity to visit both the plenary sessions and the workshops of the IACC during the afternoon session.
In addition to their participation in the Students' Forum, in their free time, the students visited Prague and its historic sites, as well as many of the cafes, bars, and discotheques. "I still feel so excited about the event in Prague and cannot forget the beauty of this city that revealed itself to me on the last day when I went sightseeing," wrote Milka Yanakieva, a student from Bulgaria.
After their successful participation in the Students' Forum, we encourage all of the students to continue their studies, to support the work of non-governmental organisations and to contribute to the reduction of corruption in every area of their societies.
