Code4Europe - empowering the new generation of Young Digital Europeans. 

ongoing

Introduction - With 2030 rapidly approaching and the digital decade target of 20 million ICT professionals in Europe still far out of reach, now is the time 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. Our Vision - To create a hugely successful, sustainable, and scalable digital education and upskilling initiative that will empower all young Europeans to embrace digital technologies and pursue a highly rewarding career in Digital.   Our Mission – 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.   Objectives- Code4Europe will massively scale EU Code Week aiming to impact 25 million young people over the next 2 years. We have co-created a radically different approach to EU Code Week that we believe will deliver real results, while still maintaining and building on the grass roots nature of the initiative, embrace and empower the existing Code Week community, and staying fully aligned with its core values. Team - In order to make this dream a reality, we have created a very large Consortium of 45 committed and passionate organisations representing all the Digital Education & Skills Stakeholder groups needed to grow EU Code Week to unprecedented levels. Led by Junior Achievement Europe, Code4Europe will unite the Education and Digital Skills communities within one integrated EU Code Week programme. We have joined together to make a real difference in our children’s lives, and together we will empower the new generation of Young Digital Europeans.
