The course of multilevel protection of weak subjects focuses on the identification of who can be identified as a weak person. The protection paths that take place on the legislative and administrative level will be focused. Furthermore, with reference to the fundamental rights of these subjects, judicial protection, both national and supranational, will be analyzed.
The course will take place in 14 lessons of frontal teaching, some 2 hours and other 3 hours, for a total of 36 hours of lessons.
During the course of the course, "study groups" will be organized, the participation to which will be absolutely optional. Each group, on the basis of a topic agreed with the teacher, will receive specific teaching materials aimed at deepening an issue. Based on this, the students who will have joined the "study group" will undertake to analyze the chosen topic and, at the end of this study work, to illustrate to the class the outcome of their in-depth study.
