 EU Code Week aims to bring basic
programming skills and digital literacy to
everybody in a fun and engaging way!

"Since the beginning of times, humans have

created with stone, iron, paper and pencil. Now
we live in a different era where we mould our
world in code. During Code Week we want to
give everyone the opportunity to discover coding
and have fun with it. Let’s learn coding to shape
our future!"

- Alessandro Bogliolo,
EU Code Week Ambassadors Coordinator
