People’s University of Rome (Upter) - http://www.upter.it/
UPTER was established in Rome in 1987 as a non-profit cultural association active in the field of adult education. Continuing education, which at first seemed to interest a particular category of senior citizens, began to attract the interest of all those who had educational and training needs. Thus, UPTER was turned from "third ages' educational centre" toward a People’s University, on a European model. UPTER is a point of reference for a lot of other organisations. Its main activity is in Rome but also outlying areas. Programmes are typically 50 hours October-June and courses are advertised through an annual guide and online registration. The largest department is the languages department. Disadvantaged learners for which UPTER has delivered specific courses includes migrants and the unemployed.
