Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” will hold a summer school, “Corruption ‘To the Point’: the economic and social costs of corruption and what remedies exist”, from 19 June to 4 July. The event is aimed mainly at young journalists and seeks to strengthen their analytical skills in reporting on corruption in the Republic of Moldova.

The summer school has two modules. The first, running from 19 to 23 June, comprises five sessions in which Expert-Grup experts present and discuss the implications of corruption in various fields, as well as the measures and reforms needed to address it. Afterwards, each participant prepares draft outlines of articles on one of the topics, which are developed under expert mentoring into full pieces to be published on the organisation’s website.

Executive Director Adrian Lupușor said participants will learn to identify and interpret statistical data correctly and to structure their messages for impactful journalism. The school is part of the communication campaign “Find out and act ‘To the Point’”, launched in the autumn, which has produced analytical notes, infographics and videographics on public procurement, the financial system, state-owned enterprises and the public budget.
