CPIA 1 Torino Paulo Freire – Via Domodossola

CPIA 1 Torino Paulo Freire is a public adult education centre with a teaching site on Via Domodossola in Turin. Italian literacy and Italian as a second language are part of its work with adult learners. The centre also provides lower-secondary adult education, so students can distinguish language learning from the separate pathway towards a school qualification.

Literacy and early Italian

The centre offers literacy and Italian language programmes from pre-A1 through A1 and A2. The distinction matters for an adult new to written Italian. Someone who needs to work on reading and writing from the beginning may need a different starting point from a confident reader who is learning Italian vocabulary and grammar for the first time. The centre has also participated in work on digital teaching materials for adults with limited previous schooling. Its courses sit within the regional adult education system, where an initial discussion can help identify a suitable learning pathway.

The Via Domodossola site

The centre's main site is at 54 Via Domodossola in the Parella area. This address houses classrooms as well as the central office. CPIA 1 also teaches at other sites in Turin, including Via Vigone, so a student enrolling through the main office should check the venue and timetable allocated to their group.
