The young generation of ATU Gagauzia is not fully aware of the extent of the negative impact of corruption on the life of society. There are still strong stereotypes that corruption is not a negative social phenomenon and only causes minor damage to the country’s development.

Thus, raising awareness of corruption as a multifaceted and complex problem, empowering stakeholders in combating corruption is impossible without the active involvement of the young generation and the direction of the potential of this active part of society to counteract this phenomenon. Youth is a layer of society that is not yet accustomed to corruption and is therefore most open to learning and rejecting corruption.

The implementation of this project will contribute to the formation of the anti-corruption legal awareness of young residents of southern Moldova. The formation of an active civic position and legal awareness among young people, understanding of social issues is the foundation of building a sustainable civil society, based on the highest values of human freedom and dignity.

They are students of the universities of Comrat, Taraclia and Cahul; colleges in Svetlyi and Comrat; vocational schools (Ciumai, Comrat, Ceadir-Lunga) - about 6 000 people.
