ANTI-CORRUPTION FESTIVAL
‘Átláccó’ Festival is a series of events organized by Transparency International Hungary on International Anti-Corruption Day.
International Anti-corruption Day is observed annually on the 9th of December, since the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption in December 2005.
The ‘Átláccó’ Festival was first organised in 2009 by Transparency International Hungary on the occasion of International Anti-Corruption Day. The programme promotes an anti-corruption attitude. It aims to make the members of the younger generations, who are susceptible to change, aware that they can contribute to transparency in public life. The winners of the organization’s short movie competition were announced in the course of ‘Átláccó’ Festival.
The festival was organised in 2010 with the aim of convincing the Hungarian citizenry that fighting against corruption is their task, as well. Our organisation advocates that private individuals should expose as many acts of corruption as possible. For this reason the introduction of whistleblowing systems and Legal Aid Service was in the limelight during our festival. In the course of the festival, guests could visit an exhibition which presented the best works of the ‘Dare to Act’ poster competition.
The topic of the Anti-Corruption Festival in 2011 is youth integrity. In cooperation with Kutatópont Kft. we have conducted a survey about what young people think about corruption and what the role of anti-corruption education should be in the Hungarian education system. The results of the survey will be presented in the framework of a conference on the 9th of December. After the conference the award giving ceremony of the video competition announced by TI Hungary, Indavideo and DocuArt will take place. The festival will be closed by the concert of Korai Öröm.

According to the Global Corruption Barometer released on 9 December 2010, Hungarians are willing to report on corruption, but adequate protection for whistleblowers is missing. Transparency International (TI) held an international conference – with government participation – on the International Anti-corruption Day, in order to present international best practice on effective whistleblower protection.
