Support for local coding initiatives within the framework of EU Code Week

Objectives: The main objectives of the SMALL GRANTS competition are to foster creativity and enhance programming skills among participants, with a strong focus on developing innovative solutions to specific problems through programming technologies. This initiative aligns with the broader EU Code Week strategy to cultivate creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration through programming and related tech activities. Aiming to make coding more accessible and dispelling associated myths, the initiative encourages participants, especially young people including girls, to express their ideas through code, thereby promoting digital inclusion and preparing the new generation for a digital future. The competition also emphasizes the importance of digital literacy in overcoming educational barriers and highlights the role of coding in bringing communities together globally.
