Mission
To approach secondary schools to study geopolitical disciplines through a strong synergy with the academic world.
The Center for International Studies of Geopolitics (Ce.St.In.Geo.) Was founded in 2008 on the initiative of Prof. Maurizio Primo Carandini with the aim of bringing secondary schools closer to the study of geopolitical disciplines through a strong synergy with the academic world. Synergy guaranteed by a ten-year partnership with the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart under the scientific direction of Prof. Riccardo Redaelli . To this end, the center has dedicated its activities and training proposals to the social fabric of Piedmont and Lombardy, with particular attention to the Alessandria area. Not by chance, Ce.St.In.Ge has its headquarters at Istituto Comprensivo Paolo e Rita Borsellino, and has created a scientific network that brings together the higher schools Balbo and Leardi (Casale Monferrato), Cellini (Valenza) and "Saluzzo Plana" (Alessandria) and that over the years has expanded to many realities especially northwest.
