Coespu Courses curriculum
Given in several languages,
several types of courses are
taught in this center, both by in-
ternal speakers from the Italian
Carabinieri and by other exter-
nal professors or lecturers, in
accordance with the “training
of trainers” approach advo-
cated by the UN. Training pro-
grams are provided in English,
French and Arabic when neces-
sary. The decision to choose a
specifi c language depends on
the number of trainees whose
countries of origin have re-
quested internships exclusively
in that language. This was the
case, for example, for the 7th
session of development of FPU
programs made in French be-
cause intended exclusively by
the Francophone community.
In addition, the courses are
conducted with the contribu-
tion of Carabinieri offi cers
and external lecturers, such
as experienced academics
and representatives of Ita-
lian, European or American
universities. The pedagogical
approach used is generally inte- gh this article, about some intere- around the world. This includes:
