Corruption is one of the most serious global threats of our time. It has disastrous effects on the economy and environment and is linked to a crisis of democracy and rising inequalities. Combating this complex phenomenon requires multiple and simultaneous approaches, including education programmes that empower future generations to resist and prevent corruption. To that end, UNODC has developed a series of Anti-Corruption University Modules, which lecturers can use as a basis for teaching in universities and academic institutions across the world. To increase their effectiveness, the modules connect theory to practice, encourage critical thinking, and use innovative interactive teaching approaches such as experiential learning and group-based work. The modules are multi-disciplinary and easily adaptable to different local and cultural contexts. Each module is designed as a three-hour class but also provides guidelines on how to develop it into a full course.
The following modules are available online:
All modules are available in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Ukrainian. The translation process is ongoing.
