Context 

EU Code Week is a grassroots initiative supported by the European Commission that aims to make coding and digital literacy accessible to everyone in a fun and engaging way. Held annually in October, the event encourages all across Europe and beyond to host coding activities for all ages. By promoting creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration through programming, EU Code Week seeks to empower individuals with the skills needed to thrive in a digital society. Whether through workshops, hackathons, or online tutorials, it celebrates digital innovation and fosters a growing community of learners and educators.

Areas

  • enable the development of innovative and scalable coding activities;
  • support initiatives that integrate programming into educational contexts and promote the involvement of students, teachers, and parents;
  • encourage the involvement of the educational community and promote collaboration between stakeholders in educational processes;
  • prioritize projects that close the gender gap and promote diversity in STEM education.

Target Groups

  • Schools (nursery, primary, lower and upper secondary schools);
  • Libraries and similar institutional bodies
