2016 EU Code Week will take place between 15th and 23rd October. EU Code Week is a grass-roots movement that celebrates creating with code. The idea is to make programming more visible, to show young, adults and elderly how you bring ideas to life with code, to demystify these skills and bring motivated people together to learn.

EU Code Week is run by volunteers. One, or several, Code Week Ambassadors coordinate the initiative in their countries.

In 2015, 46 countries took part in EU Code Week – all EU member states plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Albania, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey events took place in Australia, Belarus, Bosnia and Hercegovina, China, South Korea, Moldova, Morocco, Taiwan, Tunisia, Ukraine and the United States.

As part of its strategy for a Digital Single Market, the European Commission supports EU Code Week and other independent initiatives which aim to boost digital skills, including programming, for different target groups.

Join Europe Code Week by organising a coding event in your town or help us spread the vision of Code Week as an EU Code Week Ambassador for your country!
