The project "Integrity in Education and Healthcare" – Cahul

Description

In a medical and educational system where daily pressures can lead to compromises, at CRDC we believe that integrity must be at the core of professional development. Through this project, we encouraged young people in technical vocational education to adopt conduct based on strong ethical principles, thus contributing to the fight against corruption and the strengthening of values in the healthcare sector.

Developing ethical professional conduct among future medical workers.

Impact and testimonials

”It is especially important for young people to participate in various extracurricular activities, such as volunteering and trainings that develop essential skills like public speaking and creativity. At the same time, they make new friends and valuable connections, while developing new communication abilities. In addition, young people learn to step out of their comfort zones, preparing to become confident and courageous adults, capable of facing challenges. I believe that when there is a problem in society, change should start with each and every citizen. Each of us should try to solve it, take initiative, and contribute to building a prosperous country. Thus, participating in the Youth Integrity Club gave me the opportunity to be part of the positive changes happening in our society.”
