14 Feb Code4Europe – empowering the new generation of Young Digital Europeans
14 Feb, 2025
Project description:
Code4Europe is an EU-funded project that aims to expand and enhance digital education, building on the successes of EU Code Week since its inception in 2013. Code4Europe’s mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of digitally-savvy Europeans by promoting digital literacy and coding skills, with the aim of increasing their entry into the digital workforce.
Code4Europe supports EU Code Week, with the aim of increasing its impact and significantly increasing the number of young people aged 6 to 25, particularly girls and women, to pursue careers in digital fields, including coding and the wider area of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
By driving meaningful change in digital education across Europe, Code4Europe and EU Code Week seek to ensure that programming and tech skills are accessible to all. They equip young Europeans with essential digital skills, preparing them for future opportunities, and support educators and volunteers, helping them expand their activities and impact, while fostering collaboration and innovation in digital education.
Launched in July 2024, Code4Europe is a €6 million project led by a consortium of 41 partners and 4 associated partners from over 20 EU countries, uniting over 40 educational institutions and digital industry leaders committed to expanding and enhancing digital education across Europe.
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.
Take part in EU Code Week
EU Code Week is an international grassroots movement celebrating creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration through programming and tech activities. Supported by the European Commission, EU Code Week encourages participation from everyone, especially schools. It aims to demystify coding and motivate people of all abilities to learn. Explore digital creativity and coding at CodeWeek.eu and join the growing movement to master coding and computational thinking.
