The Institute of Romani Culture in Albania (IRCA) has been conducting a series of informative sessions across different cities, focused on raising awareness about corruption and promoting transparency in public services, with the latest session held in Elbasan. These sessions provide a platform for communities to discuss the impact of corruption and explore practical ways to strengthen accountability.
The sessions began with Corruption in Education and Healthcare and its Impact on the Roma Community, where participants shared examples of delays, discrimination, and bribery, as well as their personal experiences and concerns.
Another focus was The Role of Schools in Anti-Corruption Education, emphasizing how schools, teachers, parents, and the wider community can promote honesty, integrity, and accountability from an early age.
The sessions also covered Promoting Transparency in Public Services and How to Report Violations, presenting practical tools, best practices, and ways to collaborate with local organizations and institutions.
Each session concluded with an open discussion, allowing community members to identify challenges, propose solutions, and explore strategies to strengthen transparency and accountability in their cities.
