Documentation Centre
The large collection of books, magazines, articles, videos and exhibitions of the Documentation Centre (CEDOC) constitutes a unique heritage.
In 25 years of activity, the CISS has collected about 3,000 texts, divisible into the following categories:
| International cooperation | Migrants |
| Crime | Fiction |
| Human rights | Politics |
| Economy | Gender issues |
| Education / Teaching | Social-health services |
| Photography | Sociology |
| Geography | History |
| Gray material | Sustainable development and natural resources |
Much of the available documents are from countries of intervention of the CISS and are in their original language.
In particular, you will consult:
- updated texts on principal current international issues: Israeli/ Palestinian conflict, globalization, sustainable development, studies on poverty, etc.
- texts on Africa, Latin America and the Middle East
- the most important magazines of international geopolitics.
In addition there are over 500 videos (documentaries, reportage of projects, films on the themes of the South of world, instructional videos, etc..) that complete the archive of the Documentation Centre.
