Throughout the workshop, strong emphasis was placed on the importance of integrating integrity principles into the daily operations of each federation.
Key topics included governance standards, ethical responsibility and gender equity, with repeated focus on the need to not only understand these principles but actively implement them.
The session also featured interactive elements, allowing participants to share experiences, raise questions and engage in open discussion.
To reinforce practical understanding, participants took part in case-based exercises, simulating real-life integrity scenarios. These activities provided valuable insight into how theoretical principles apply in concrete situations.
