After the official opening, an interactive bibliokviz called "Neither Give nor Take" was held. Participants actively responded to questions based on literary works and films, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding corruption and its impact on society. This format of interaction encourages critical thinking while discussing complex topics in a relaxed environment.
In the afternoon, the participants attended introductory lectures on project work. They learned about various methods, such as mock trials and business games, which help them apply their theoretical knowledge in practice. These activities not only enhance teamwork skills but also prepare students for real-world legal challenges.
The school's activities focus on a comprehensive comparative study of Russian and Belarusian anti-corruption practices. This study encompasses both legal aspects and practical measures to effectively combat corruption. Lectures and seminars conducted by experienced professionals will provide participants with the opportunity to not only gain theoretical knowledge, but also learn about successful practices that can be applied in their future professional activities.
The International Summer Law School will serve as a platform for in-depth study of anti-corruption policies and the creation of a network of professional contacts, which will undoubtedly contribute to the development of legal awareness and a responsible approach to corruption among young people.
