I Paid a Bribe is a crowdsourcing platform that allows users to anonymously report not only cases of bribery, but also cases of meeting an 'honest official', and cases of refusal to pay a bribe. Users report incidents, including the amount and location of the bribe. The initiative analyses this data to identify corruption trends and hotspots, to raise awareness of the impact of corruption among citizens and public officials and to advocate for transparency. Sharing cases of bribery stimulates discussion on combating corruption and promoting ethics. The website is still active, although participation has declined in recent years.

This interactive online game helps students better understand public budgets and their impact on society. Students are placed in the role of an advisor in the Ministry of Finance and asked to allocate resources to the social sector based on a selection of sustainable development goals. The Budget Game immerses them in the role of a policymaker, allowing them to explore the delicate balance between financial priorities, political commitments and resource constraints within an economy. The overall aim is to provide students with a tangible understanding of the real-world consequences of investing in critical areas such as education, health and other facets of the social sector. In doing so, it empowers individuals to make informed decisions about trade-offs and opportunity costs, thereby fostering a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of policymaking and resource allocation.
