This Monday, on 8 July the biggest-to-date Transparency International Summer School on Integrity welcomes 140 youth leaders from more than 60 countries in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Future leaders from non-governmental organisations, the public and private sectors and academia will spend one week learning how to address the causes and consequences of corruption. TI School participants together with leading anti-corruption experts from all over the world will search for new ways to reach greater transparency and resist corruption in their daily lives.
