EU Code Week 2020 kicks off to promote skills for the digital future
Date: 08/10/20
The 8th edition of the European Code Week, a grass-roots initiative supported by the European Commission, which aims to make everyone familiar with coding and digital technologies in an entertaining and engaging way, opens on Thursday 8 October with an online event. From 10 to 25 October Code Week will feature lots of online activities and an original #CodeWeekDance challenge in which schools, teachers, libraries, businesses and many more, will have the opportunity to participate.
Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mariya Gabriel, said: “I am delighted to be working again with EU Code Week, which inspires people of all ages to learn about programming, computers and many technology activities. Although this year we had to move all events online due to the circumstances, our ambition is not lessened: we aim to reach millions of people across Europe to help them get acquainted with technology, acquire the right skills and be empowered through digital learning.”
