 AMAN organized a distribution of certificates ceremony towards the end of a three-day training workshop that targeted around 30 youth. Dr. Azmi Shuaibi, General Coordinator, AMAN Coalition and Mr. Musa Abu Zaid, General Coordinator, National Commission for Summer Camps congratulated the participants on their achievement.

 The training comes as part of a plan by AMAN to mobilize 10,000 Palestinian youth against corruption by the end of 2006. AMAN is working jointly with government, private, and civil society partners to combat corruption through conducting activities that promote integrity, transparency, and accountability within the Palestinian society.

The trainees will be acting as summer camp leaders for children aged 8-12 at summer camps. The leaders were trained on how to introduce anti-corruption concepts to children. The training focused on four areas; integrity, active learning techniques that would help children grasp the meaning of integrity, activity planning, and developing questioners that measure the extent to which children’s awareness of anti-corruption issues was raised.  

Children are the most vulnerable stratum of a society as corruption directly affects their future. Integrating integrity values within the learning process helps to build a future generation that is capable of combating corruption. Summer camps contribute to shaping the personalities of thousands of children that participate in them. Beside schools, summer camps focus more on activities that help develop the physical, mental, psychological, and social aspects of a child’s life. They provide opportunities for creativity, freedom of expression, critical thinking, innovation, and democratic practices.

AMAN seeks to utilize summer camps to spread anti-corruption concepts and to equip children participating at these camps with the values and experiences needed to develop their behavior in a positive and constructive manner. AMAN will be implementing a program in summer camps that encourages drama, cultural activities, and creative writing as means towards raising children’s awareness against corruption.
