of the few things that link the diverse world together in a great way. It is universal;
it exists in all countries, both developed and developing, in the public and
private sectors, as well as in non-profit and charitable organizations. It has
been in the society, for as long as one can think, perishing it, ever so
slowly. It is an amazing fact, then, that Corruption has not until recently
been considered as a matter of major significance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Corruption is viewed differently in the views of different
people. <span style="background: white;">The underlying causes of corruption
remain poorly understood and widely debated. Research on the causes of
corruption is compounded by the difficulties inherent in disentangling the
effects of social norms from the effects of legal enforcement. Specifically,
societies that collectively place less importance on rooting out corruption,
and thus have weak anti-corruption social norms, may simultaneously have less
legal enforcement. Understanding the real causes of corruption is of central
importance in reforming economic and social institutions: if corruption is
predominantly norm-based, interventions that focus exclusively on boosting
legal reforms will likely fail.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">In India, Corruption is synonymous to Politicians. It is
believed that m<span style="background: white;">oney and corruption are ruining
the land, crooked politicians betray the working man, pocketing the profits and
treating the citizens like sheep. However, this is not an entirely correct
approach. The question that should be raised here is that even if the
politicians pledge to cleanse the system and resist temptation, can a change
really be brought about?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Even though the people long to be honest
and live in a corruption-free world, the irony remains that they themselves
give into corruption on trivial matters. Everyone has at some time been tempted
to give or accept an inducement to act in a way that does not conform to ethics
and law. Most people have given into that temptation on occasion, even if only
very rarely and in small matters. Wherever there are transactions that offer
the opportunity for personal advantage or profit someone, somewhere will take
advantage of that opportunity. Corruption can be such a part of life that
citizens of a badly corrupt country may scarcely imagine that it can be reduced
or eliminated. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Are we condemned to
accept corruption, however much we hate it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Corruption can be a major obstacle in the
process of economic development and in modernizing a country. Many now feel
that it should receive priority attention in a country’s development agenda.
This greater recognition that corruption can have a serious adverse impact on
development has been a cause for concern among developing countries. In a
recent survey of 150 high level officials from 60 third world countries, the
respondents ranked public sector corruption as the most severe obstacle
confronting their development process. Corruption also strengthens and
encourages bad governance. Law becomes taken for granted, human rights are not
respected, accountability and lost and transparency declines as corruption
increases. Corruption leads to the depletion of national wealth. It is often
responsible for increased costs of goods and services, the funneling of scarce
public resources to uneconomic high profile projects at the expense of the much
needed projects such as schools, hospitals and roads, or the supply of potable
water, diversion and misallocation of resources, conversion of public wealth to
private and personal property, inflation, imbalanced economic development,
weakling work ethics and professionalism, hindrance of the development of fair
in market structures and unhealthy competition there by deterring competition.
Large scale corruption hurts the economy and impoverishes entire population. In
Social sphere, corruption discourages people to work together for the common
good. Frustration and general apathy among the public result in a weak civil
society.<span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Corruption exists in all countries it is
more widespread in low income countries. This is not because people in poor
countries are more corruptible than their counterparts in rich countries. It is
simply because conditions in poor countries are more conducive for the growth
of corruption. Bribery and graft are crimes of calculation and not of passion.
Hence, when benefits are large, chances of getting caught are small, and
penalties when caught are light, then many people will succumb.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">The conclusion once can infer here is that <span style="background: white;">Corruption is the enemy of development, and of good
governance. It must be got rid of. Both the government and the people at large
must come together to achieve this national objective. In a state where
corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous. Laws can be effective only when
they are backed by powerful professionals and a determine youth. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

society that has the moral duty of challenging corruption and also has the
power of giving a boost to corruption. It becomes important in such a case to
educate and aware the youth about Corruption and its allied activities. The
Youth needs to understand that s</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">ince
corruption has been a part of the way of living for so long, it cannot be
completely eliminated. However, it can be checked and brought under control so
that the bad effects are minimized.<span style="background: white;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The truth is
that the fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been
and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and
children. In the end, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

TRANSPARENCY AND A ROLE FOR LIBRARIES, believes that uncorrupted politicians
and civil society campaigning bodies propose a variety of approaches to the
problem of corruption. Institutional reform, powerful legal sanctions, and the
creation of regulatory bodies are amongst the types of approach that appear in
anti-corruption programmes. Forming an essential part of all of them, is
increased transparency. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

famines and calamities because another million seek profit everywhere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I asked the students in Guatemala City if they could help me answer some questions. Each question was based on the <a href="http://www.isfit.org/workshops">workshops of ISFiT 2015</a>, and the overall theme was corruption. Here are some of the answers! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday the 27th of May</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Early Monday morning we left Jakarta and dived into a completely different country; Singapore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today's mission was visiting the National University of Singapore and meeting Yew-Ming Yeap, a student from Nanyang Technological University. He took us to dinner and told us about the student life in Singapore. We were to learn that Singapore is all about rankings and attracting brain power, which in practice means giving out scholarships so bright students from abroad can study in Singapore. Yew-Ming Yeap, who is Malaysian, is among these students.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday we got to see a bit more of Singapore, which is a clean city where pretty much everything is the tallest/ biggest/ newest something in the world. It is also a very clean country, and easy to travel in, because you do not have to worry about your behavior. On the walls in the subways there are several prohibitions signs that clearly states what you are not allowed to do, like having a sip of water on the subway.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Singapore is also a Mecca for banking. The country itself is very transparent. On Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index from 2013 Singapore ranks as the 5th most transparent country in the world, together with Norway. The financial system promotes start up business and investments, and the taxes are low.</span><br />

wonderful international ambassadors (and a dog) have given me the warmest
welcome! Varinia picked me up at the airport, introduced me to the local food
and brought me to the city center for a walk. Gerardo invited us for dinner
with his parents and siblings, and I was finally able to practice my Spanish again. Varinia and Gerardo have introduced me
to both the struggles and good sides of their country, and I am very excited to
learn more about Guatemala tomorrow. Varinia works for the Autonomous Sport Confederation of Guatemala and I will join her for work tomorrow and talk to
some of her colleagues. Maybe they
have something interesting to say about corruption in Guatemala? Later Gerardo
will take me to the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, where I will visit
campus, meet the students and listen to their ideas. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Saturday the 24th of May</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i>
Today we got up early to prepare for one of our biggest event on this tour, a workshop with the students at the University of Indonesia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Here we met ut with five participants from ISFiT 2013; Johannes, Cita, Rahmat, Septian and Deilika. They had done a great job organizing an ISFiT session on the university campus. We talked about ISFiT and the theme corruption. We also had a session where the former ISFiT participants told about their ISFiT experience. Among the highlights were the skiing day and the workshops.and an QA about ISFiT and the theme corruption.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We also had a small ISFiT workshop with different methods.The ISFiT people reading this blog will be familiar with hi-ha-ho and speed debate. We also had a method for project planning, where the students identified different challenges regarding the fight against corruption and came up with different strategies to meet these challenges.It was a great experience to meet up with the students here and share ideas on this years theme! </span><br />

Participating in the workshop was Hana Maulida, Head of Program division for the organization Future Leader for Anti-Co</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">rruption (F</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">LAC). They work with anticorruption in Indonesia. What they do is that they use different methods teach children about anti corruption, or more importantly, about the values that will promote transparency and integrity. Maulida tells us that her favorite method is storytelling. Through storytelling the children will learn about morality and the importance of honesty. We were very impressed by what they had accomplished so far.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">Today is our forth day in Metro Manila and we were ready for some sightseeing. After saying goodbye to our host we left at 6 am to meet with Nino and a friend from last evening, Kim. They took us around in Manila, or according to them, "the real Manila". The distances in this city is still surprising us. After meeting Nino we took a jeepney to Kim's place, which was according to Nino, "not far at all". Marius fell asleep during the trip, so I guess some of us found it a bit further than "not far at all". </span></div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Nino Calalang is a student of the University of the Philippines (UP), and an ISFiT Ambassador. He has applied to ISFiT no more than tree times and been admitted every single time. However something had always prevented him for going. Still, he continues to be and engaged ambassador in Manila. After a Bachelor's degree in philosophy at the University City of Manila (Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, PLM), and winning a national writing competition, he stared on a Master's degree in literature at UP. He also know everything worth knowing about Filipino history! </span></div>

"The real Manila" turned out be full of historical sights and a beautiful and interesting place. The lively marked place Divisoria was full of people and stalls selling everything you need and everything you didn't know that you needed. It was a fascinating place, and Marius befriended a couple of police men (more of that later). Fruit, flowers, kitchen equipment, school equipment, jewelry and even handmade carnival masks filled the stalls. There was also a huge amount of small blue and pink figures that it is tradition to give when you are invited to weddings. And of course the narrow streets were crowded with people.</div>

The breathtaking Quiapo Church, also known as the Minor Basilika of the Black Nazarene, was packed with people attending the Thursday mass. Marius and Kim visited a fortune teller, but couldn't really tell if it was worth the price. I guess we will see that in a couple of decades. The fascination story of Intramuros, build in the late 16th century during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines, was also on today's program. Kim and Nino told us about the Philipino national hero José Rizal. </div>

The tour of Manila gave us a broader understanding of the Filipino history and culture. Most notably that the Philippines seems to be a place where differences are appreciated, and in Manila different religions live side by side. </div>

Both Marius and I needed some time in the shadow to cope with the heat. Combined with the humidity we have a constant feeling of walking around soaked in water (well, sweat, of course). Manila is a great city, and we regret that we didn't have more time here. They are friendly here in Manila, and most of them speak good English, so it is quite easy to travel here for us. </div>

We organized a workshop with different debate methods such as speed debate and a method for problem solving and project management. We were very impressed with the students who were all a part of a student organization at PLM. They were a dedicated group and it didn't take long before they all had identified several challenges in the that they wanted to improve, and came up with several solutions. The students participated actively in the debates and taught us more about corruption in the Philippines. Also we got to learn about student engagement at PLM. We would like to thank the students at PLM that exchanged their ideas with us today!</div>

<i>We are making quite a lot of film for you guys, and with the newly aquired gopro always stiched to his head, Marius is having the time of his life. </i><br />
<br />
Nino took us to The University of the Philippines (UP), to show us around on the campus, which is really big, at least compared to our home university. The campus was beautiful and we had a long a long walk there. He is a writer, and gave us an introduction to the politics, culture and history of the Philippines. We also had pork intestines and mango juice for lunch.</div>

<br />
On the campus we met up with students from the university, member of Global Shapers and Good Governance Initiative, both of which we got to know on the PACI conference. In addition Allan Pangilian, leader of the Freedom of Information Youth Initiative, met us on the universty campus. His youth organization is working to implement an act that will give everyone the righ to have insight in the government processes. Also meeting us on the campus was a group of young writers from UP, that shared their thoughts on the current political situation in their country. </div>

When we left the university we promised Nino that of course we would find our way back to our host, and no, you really don't have to come with us. It took us about three times as long, and twice as many different means of transportation to get us home, than what Nino had told us was necessary. Partly thanks to my stubborness as I am a strong believer in public transport. Also when you are crossing a city with almost 12 million people, you have been there for less than 48 hours, you don't have a map, and the closest you have to an adress is "By the McDonald's on Rodriguez Avenue". The usual answer was "Rodriquez Avenue is very long, ma'm". I can add that there are many hamburger-stores as well. </div>

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
Quite a bit jet-lagged we struggled our way through the Manila traffic earlier today. The reason we are in Manila is that we were invited here by Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI). PACI is an initiative by World Economic Forum that focuses on transparency and accountability in the business world. Read more about PACI on their <a href="http://www.weforum.org/issues/partnering-against-corruption-initiative">website</a>. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
As a part of the World Economic Forum on Asia that is being hold here in Manila this week, PACI is hosting a meeting with at special focus on youth and anti-corruption. According to PACI youth engagement is a driving force to achieve greater public awareness on this issue. We couldn't agree more and needless to say we were very excited about this meeting. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
Before the meeting we had a snack, and after eating four Manila-hamburgers Marius was ready to enter the World Economic Forum. Although obviously he had to change into his suit first. So this is us, proud to be representing ISFiT at the PACI-meeting. We even got name tags! </div>

The meeting was a great success. We met with several interesting people, among them the world's only minister on anti-corruption, Senator Paul Low from Malaysia. His focus on transparency and anti-corruption work in Malaysia was a great inspiration, and surely I had to invite him to ISFiT 2015! </div>

Their projects on empowering youth was inspiring to hear about. We talked with several of the people at the meeting, but we will not give away all the details just now. Over the following days we will post video interviews of people who are in the forefront of the fight against corruption, so stay tuned! </div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Welcome onboard to the very first ISFiT World Tour! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
For the next ten days ISFiT will visit the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, and we hope you will come with us. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
The idea behind the International Student Festival in Trondheim is to provide an arena where student from all over the world can meet and discuss important contemporary issues. It is a place where the leaders of today meet the leaders of tomorrow and share ideas on how to create a better future for young people in the world. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
Now ISFiT is boarding on a world tour. We want to meet you and hear your story and your ideas. With this we can encourage young people to continue to share ideas worldwide. ISFiT is an international student festival. Thus ideas and perspectives from all over the world are valuable to the festival. It is important for us to include your ideas and perspectives when we are planning the upcoming ISFiT, which takes place in February 2015. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
The theme for ISFiT 2015 is corruption. Corruption is an obstacle to political and economic development and a global challenge that calls for a global solution. A corrupt system undermines democracy and creates a breeding ground for insurgency and criminality. To work against corruption means to challenge the attitudes that sustain the corrupt system. When students from all over the world exchange ideas on this topic we believe that together we can be in the forefront in the fight against corruption. How do you think students of today can unite to reduce corruption? </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
ISFiT is also about cultural understanding. The festival gathers students from more than 100 different countries. During the world tour we would like to take part in the culture of the countries that we visit. Thus we will encourage the people we meet to challenge us to take part in some events or taste some food that is unique for their country. What is your challenge to us? </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
ISFiT World Tour begins in Manila. Here we will be attending a meeting during World Economic Forum. The meeting is about youth and anti-corruption. From Manila we will go to Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore. However our program is not settled yet, because hopefully you have some ideas on where we should go. We would like to learn more about culture and anti-corruption work, and to meet students that want to share their ideas. What should we do and who should we meet? </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
Will you join the World Tour and trade your ideas?. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your ideas! </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">No matter their
differences in background, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation
and values, five hundred students from around the world were now dressed up in their
host families’ skiing outfits from the eighties. Coming from around the world,
these students had gathered in the Norwegian forest, and they all had high
expectations of what the snowy fields had to offer. After several days of debates
and discussions, confrontations of prejudices, teaching, learning, and trading
ideas, all participants were now gathered to cross country ski. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During the
winter of 2013 I volunteered for ISFiT as a press affiliate. My job was to make
sure that all domestic and international media gave adequate coverage to
ongoing events and published news about the festival’s theme. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was no doubt that this event
should be in the spotlight, because it captured what ISFiT is all about (not to
mention that watching people ski for the first time is pretty entertaining in
itself.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 347.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ISFiT is about defying cultural differences, making friends and getting
to know one another through laughter and bonding. It is about fostering
creativity by going beyond the familiar, and about developing the best ideas on
the basis of respect and dignity. All participants and volunteers seek justice
in their ideas, because they are the student rebellion that makes a peaceful
revolt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 347.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It was a
victory for many to make it safely down the hill that day, and it was a victory
for us all to be able to have fun and enjoy each other’s company despite our differences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And to me it was a victory that ISFiT’s
values were captured on TV so that everyone could play a part in building the ISFiT
experience. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 347.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 347.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I am one of ISFiT 2015’s International Ambassadors, and will continue to
promote and share ISFiT’s values from New York. I want every person in this
city to be aware of the amazing things that will take place next February in
Trondheim. Keep your eyes peeled on further news!<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
