To cultivate students’ awareness of a probity society, members of the Student Leadership Programme organized a visit to the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) of Macau S.A.R. on April 10 and 17, with the theme “Integrity and Honesty”. Visits to the CCAC’s community offices aim to enhance students’ values of integrity and the correct code of conduct. 

The visit to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) distinguishes itself from traditional guided tours by adopting an “experiential” approach. The focus of the CCAC’s activities was to provide participants with hands-on experience. The event includes lectures, allowing visitors to learn about the historical development and functions of the CCAC engagingly. CCAC staff guided participants through various exhibition halls and simulated workplaces, including the mock interview room and identification room, during the event. These spaces offered participants the opportunity to actively experience the CCAC’s investigative processes, while the staff introduced the procedures for taking statements and identifying individuals.

Additionally, participants visit different exhibition facilities. For instance, they had the chance to witness a 3D weapons display that demonstrated the weapons and tools frequently used by investigators in various situations. An interactive exhibit showcasing physical evidence allowed participants to gain deeper insights into the cases handled by the CCAC. The visit also includes a stop at the Integrity Café, where participants can engage in trendy games. Toward the end of the event, the host guided participants to reflect on their learnings from the visit and share their experiences.

Participants in the activity expressed their unanimous appreciation for the engaging experience and gained a deeper understanding of the efforts and accomplishments of CCAC in combating corruption. We hoped that the knowledge students gained from this activity would help them develop a strong moral compass and ethical framework, actively cultivate a positive personal image, and foster a sense of social responsibility.

Student Leadership Training Programme was established in 2020 to nurture and develop students’ leadership qualities through different activities and training, to enhance their self-confidence, communication, and independent thinking skills. Programme members are required to organize theme-based activities by the end of the semester.
