14 Feb Code4Europe – empowering the new generation of Young Digital Europeans
14 Feb, 2025
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The “Code4Europe – empowering the new generation of Young Digital Europeans” project aims to bring together all of Europe’s digital skills stakeholders from Youth Education, Civil Society, Digital Industry and Government to implement innovative new approaches to the digital upskilling of young people.
With 2030 rapidly approaching and the digital decade target of 20 million ICT professionals in Europe still far out of reach, it is clear that the formal education system alone will not be capable of delivering the number of digitally skilled young people that will be needed by 2030, the pace of technological change is just too fast for educational curricula to adapt in time, and teachers with heavy workloads and limited digital expertise cannot be expected to deliver complex lessons in advanced digital skills or promote digital careers to their students without support from the wider digital skills community.
KEY OBJECTIVES:
The Code4Europe Consortium is committed to expanding and enhancing digital education, building on the successes of EU Code Week since 2013.
Its mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of digitally-savvy Europeans, ensuring that programming and tech skills are accessible to all.
Code4Europe aims to reimagine, revamp and relaunch EU Code Week, giving it a mandate to drive real change in digital education throughout Europe, a focus on vastly increasing the number of young people who choose digital careers, and an emphasis on engaging the entire digital skills ecosystem in a common mission to close the digital skills gap in Europe by tackling the problem at its source.
About EU Code Week
Through programming and technology, the EU Code Week is an international movement that celebrates creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. Supported by the European Commission, EU Code Week encourages participation from everyone, especially schools. Its mission is to make coding more accessible and inspire people of all levels to develop digital and computational skills.
