On the International Day of Education with students we have organized that creative action to ironizing the phenomenon of corruption in education.

We founded “University of Corrupted Sciences” as a symbol of all the issues that have characterized the education system in our transition years.

The self-proclaimed Dean and Rector spoke in the protest, and not only did they award for free 200 academic titles to the participants and pedestrians, but they also ironized the behavior of university leaders over the years.

The main slogans of the protest were “A Diploma in a Minute", “A Diploma in Your Pocket”, “Invest in Your Education! Give a kiss!”," Free PhD for Politicians and MPs ".

Effectiveness

How does this project help?

Amplifies (issue or campaign)Brings public and political attention to an issue or campaign.  Can include prefigurative action, making the invisible visible.

Timeframe For change

This project seems to be part of a campaign with a clear long-term goal. Long-term goals tend to be things like: end racism; end homophobia; make the sun stand still in the sky. A campaign with a long-term goal also needs to have some kind of theory of change.
pressuring government to stop corruption in education

Notes

Very good media attention, but will need to be tied to campaign for it to be effective
