WHAT IS CLA UNITO
Università degli Studi di Torino Linguistic Center (CLA-UniTO) plays an essential role in developing the language skills of the university community, but also in promoting the internationalization policy of Turin’s university as well as the language policies encouraged by the European Union.

CLA-UniTO, set up in 2013, collects and develops the legacy of what was called CLIFU –Interfaculty Language Center for Humanities Faculties (Centro Linguistico Interfacoltà per le Facoltà Umanistiche), which was created to serve language teaching need of the University’s humanities faculties.
Over years, thanks to the commitment lavished both by the teaching and technical administrative involved staff, the issues related to language teaching have been developed, based on the most updated indication coming from the international scientific community, in an increasingly omni comprehensive perspective and crosswise opened to interests and needs of the entire UniTO community and of the territory, in an evolutionary
process whose natural haven has been the transformation in University Language Center
(Centro Linguistico di Ateneo -CLA).

Politecnico di Torino chooses to highlight “having a period is neither a luxury nor a choice” by installing 5 free pads dispensers in the university Turin’s locations. The road to gender equality also involves attention and support for female students during menstruation to safeguard the right to physical and psychological well-being.

Tampons that will be distributed are made in Italy according to principles of environmental sustainability during the entire production cycle. Under the initiative “Period Equity”, free “emergency” cotton organic pads vending machines have been installed in all university Turin’s locations: corso Duca degli Abruzzi, via Boggio, Mirafiori, Castello del Valentino and Lingotto.

The action was provided for in the University's Gender Equality Plan 2021-2024 “Diversity Goal”, in keeping with the request made to the Board of Directors by some student associations. The initiative found a response in similar ones at other Italian universities and in the general mobilization launched on March 8 by Rete della Conoscenza (a network of student associations), in conjunction with the global women’s strike – also following the taxation of these products at the ordinary rate of 22 percent, which effectively equates them with ordinary goods and not primary necessities.

The film describes the story of Ariane, who comes back to Richelieu valley, where she finds a job as interpreter from French to Spanish for the migrant workers of a corn factory.

At the beginning, she executes the orders of the supervisor Stephane, who exploits the underpaid workers, but over time she becomes increasingly aware and starts to take position against Stephane, especially when it concerns unfair dismissals and illegal camera installations. The film illustrates a situation in Italy that is attested by INAIL data for January 2024, which report 42.166 work injuries condemnations, 45 of which were fatal, up 4,7% from the previous year.

The film showing, created in cooperation with CGIL, CISLand UIL Torino, has been introduced by the reviewer Giuseppe Gariazzo and to follow a debate situation has come to life led by the words of Stefano Sacchi, Vice Chancellor for Society, Community and Program Implementation at Politecnico, by Mattia Pirulli, CISL national secretary, and Giorgio Vernoni of IRES Piedmont.
