Provide a status update for your Innovation.

Through a series of student led competitions involving up to 30 schools, student led teams created videos that both inform and empower young people to act against everyday corruption. On February 20th, the team hosted a ceremony to premiere the best videos and award prizes to the winning teams. Now, LEAD Fellows and student will turn the videos into teaching curriculum to be share with over 770 schools across Mongolia. This will provide learning materials for youth, by youth, and provide innovative and thoughtful ways to counter corruption.

What Evidence do you have that your Innovation works?

Most young people argue that Mongolia's learning materials are out of date and don't encourage innovative or critical thinking. "Transparency through the eyes of youth" pairs learning, critical thinking, and video making. It encourage young people to use new, digital skills to create learning materials for other young people. While at the same time working to create a new generation of anti-corruption advocates. As the videos are distributed, the LEAD team will explore the impact. What are students learning? Are the encouraging their schools and communities to act against corruption? We will be tracking this evidence as the project grows!

Do you have current users or testers?

The youth-made video curriculum will be distributed to over 770 schools this year. From this, the LEAD team will learn how impactful the video-based curriculum can be, and change approaches as needed.

What is your strategy for expanding use of your innovation?

The LEAD team recently signed a MOU with Transparency International in Mongolia, which has agreed to take over the initiative and launch the youth video competition as an annual event. The video making competitions will be introduced to more schools across the country!

Next Steps

Next, the team will use the video content to create teaching curriculum to be shared with more than 700 high schools across Mongolia. “We want to will send the DVD and training content to as many teachers as possible,” adds Munkhjargal.
