Basel Institute on Governance

Another highlight from our 6th International Collective Action Conference was, without a doubt, the visit of these three young students from 🇲🇩 Moldova.

They are volunteers from the Voluntari anticorupție ai CNA. Thanks to the “Youth Against Corruption Exchange” initiative co-organised with the OSCE – The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, they had the opportunity to visit the Basel Institute's Headquarters, the University of Basel and attend the conference.

The heart of the exchange was an inspiring debate on the intersection of youth, technology and anti-corruption. Our team led sessions on corruption prevention and asset recovery challenges, including virtual assets. At the university, the students explored the complex dynamics of democracy, state capture and public accountability, before attending the various panels and events of our Collective Action Conference.

Everyone was delighted with their intelligence, confidence and, above all, their commitment. They are a true breath of hope and fresh air in the global fight against corruption.

We hope this experience serves as a catalyst for their journey and inspires them to continue leading the way toward a more transparent and just world.
