In Spain, for example, representatives of the leftist political partyPodemos have launched anti-corruption bus tours, a project designed to provide a means of communicating with civil society and drawing its attention to corruption problems in the country. The bus, painted blue - the color of the Spanish Popular Party(Partido Popular) - features portraits of the party's leaders and passes by places somehow connected with their corrupt activities, about which the oppositionists tell the participants in detail.
A similar project was previously launched by young activists in Mexico, during a free one-hour ride through 10 "landmarks" (such as box houses built by the state for poor families in violation of urban planning standards and without utilities) where participants were invited to listen to information about the misconduct of local politicians. The campaign took place in the run-up to elections for the lower house of parliament and, according to the organizers, was designed to increase citizen engagement and remind them that their own citizens' rights and interests are being violated.
In Mexico, another noteworthy initiative created by civil society organizations late last year was the Corruption Dictionary, which provides humorous definitions of corruption-related terms, such as "Justice is a social construct that does not exist in Mexico at all." or "Asenator is the same as a congressman, only more intolerable." The dictionary is intended to be a means of informing citizens about issues through a humorous approach.
In China, television shows are a particularly popular way of creating public intolerance of corruption. For example, last year, in the run-up to the Sixth Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the seriesAlways on the Road was broadcast for a week on central television. Each of the eight episodes featured details of high-profile corruption scandals of the past years involving high-ranking officials, as well as interviews with convicted officials, including interviews with their repentance, and interviews with convicted officials.
The use of "new generation" developments based on the use of information technologies has recently become an uncommon phenomenon for engaging civil society in the fight against corruption. For example, in late 2016, in Armenia, with the support of the European Union, an Anti-Corruption Game was launched to raise awareness of citizens, especially young people, about the risks associated with corruption, while in Mexico, young activists created a smartphone application in the format of a game for children from 7 to 12 years old, which aims to educate them about the risks associated with corruption.
In Indonesia, the process of engaging society in the fight against corruption has led civil society activists to stand up for theCorruption Eradication Commission, which is responsible for key corruption investigations, among other things. Dressed as superheroes, they urged the Commission's staff not to be afraid to continue investigating high-ranking officials and pledged to be guarantors of their safety, demonstrating the willingness of civil society to support their fight against corruption. Such organizations have also been involved in the fight against corruption, including in the fight against corruption.
