The CSC animation school, established in 2001 in agreement with the Piedmont Region and based in Turin, is an important reference point in Italy for young people who see animation as their means of expression and as their artistic and professional future career. The school's goal is to develop their talents to train artists and technicians with knowledge and understanding of the process of creating and producing animated films, equipped with professional artistic and technical skills in the main areas of production. A strong emphasis is placed on animation as a medium of expression, communication, and experimentation, beyond its "genre" definition.

 The training course is three years, based on project and practice. There are 20 places available per year and admission is by selection (portfolio, interviews, practical tests). The CSC diploma is equivalent to degree class L-03 (DAMS). Teachers are artists and professionals from the Italian and international fields. The training activities are based on practical exercises and projects, which may also include work simulations for short commissioned productions. The 3rd year is devoted to diploma projects. Each year 3-7 short animated films are produced, based on students' subjects, where the school strongly encourages a variety of ideas, themes, styles and techniques. CSC also collaborates in the production of projects with alumni.
