Project report:
Hello, my name is Lukáš, and I have just returned from another meeting of the long-term project Digital vs. Corruption, which focuses on promoting anti-corruption measures. The fourth meeting took place from August 23 to August 28, 2025, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically in the third-largest city, Tuzla, which is renowned for its salt mining and music. Both of these things accompanied us throughout our stay.
The theme of the meeting was whistleblowing, which is the process by which an individual (whistleblower) reports immoral or illegal practices in the workplace. During the activities, we discussed how best to protect these people without affecting their work and personal lives, while keeping them anonymous. During the meeting, we also discussed other aspects of whistleblowing, such as risks, legal issues, reporting procedures, abuse of whistleblowing, and other matters. These activities took the form of discussions, seminars, and group work.
In addition to discussions, workshops, and activities related to whistleblowing, we also had leisure activities on the program, such as a visit to salt lakes, where we could cool off during a hot day, a tour of the city, tasting local wines, and attending a music festival that took place throughout our stay. We saw a whole range of Bosnian music groups on stage, and one of our organisers even performed there. The festival also featured various music-related workshops, and we were able to attend one of them, specifically a seminar on DJing and music mixing, where we could try our hand at mixing for an interesting finale.
I would like to thank EYCB for their trust in sending me to this project as their representative, and I would also like to thank EPEKA for organising this project.
Lukáš
