During that project integrated programme of anti-corruption education for a school of general education was created and tested at eleven project schools, various anti-corruption extra-curricular activities were organized at schools.<br \/>\nThis project was initiated to contribute Lithuania National Anti-Corruption Programme (adopted by the Seimas on 17 January 2002, No. IX-711) by implementing following directions:<\/p>\n<p>\u201e8.2.3. to organize anti-corruption training seminars for various public groups and provide them with knowledge and skills to fight with corruption, to share opinions and latest information about anti-corruption activities stride in the country;<\/p>\n<p>8.2.4. to create and implement anti-corruption education programmes for schools of general and higher education\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">The fight against corruption is one of the priority areas of activity for the Government and the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania. The effectiveness of anti-corruption activities largely depends on civic awareness and the public&#8217;s determination to cooperate with law enforcement institutions. However, the fight against corruption is not solely about the detection of crimes; significant attention is also devoted to corruption prevention and public education.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Anti-corruption public education should be carried out as an integral part of public education, aiming to foster personal morality, cultivate citizenship, and develop an understanding of an individual&#8217;s rights and duties to society and the State of Lithuania, while ensuring the implementation of corruption prevention goals.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">Anti-corruption education in schools can be both formal and informal. Formal education involves integrating elements of anti-corruption education into general education curricula, while informal education encourages various extracurricular initiatives, such as civic campaigns, student conferences, and other events. Since the primary target of anti-corruption education is the maturation of civic consciousness, the most favorable environment for its integration is within social disciplines: civic education, history, political science, and ethics.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>PROJECT AIM<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221;][vc_column_text]To form values and develop skills, that form young people and their educators&#8217; civic attitudes towards corruption.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>PROJECT OBJECTIVES<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To prepare in-service training programme of anticorruption education.<\/li>\n<li>To prepare team of trainers able to consult and train other teachers.<\/li>\n<li>To set up centers of anticorruption education in participating schools.<br \/>\nTo develop strategic plans of anticorruption activities in the regions working in close cooperation with schools, municipalities and local communities.<\/li>\n<li>To improve and complement the integrated programme of anti-corruption education for a school of general education.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6>PROJECT PARTICIPANTS<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221;][vc_column_text]Project was devoted to teaches and pupils of a school of general education, school and local communities.
