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.
Empowering young digital professionals
Schuman Associates is a proud partner of Code4Europe, an education and skills project funded by the European Commission's Digital Europe Programme, supporting a more inclusive digital transition, addressing skills shortages in the tech sector, and strengthening the EU’s long-term digital competitiveness.
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.
Transforming digital education through 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.
Our contribution
Our involvement spans the entire project. In addition to co-leading the project management and proactive quality assurance, we play a key role in communication and dissemination, especially in shaping the project’s branding, communications and digital strategy, to amplify its reach across Europe. We also co-lead the project’s long-term sustainability, with a focus on maximising the impact of the project for young people and for the EU.
