So, what’s different this year?
Our aim is to continue to empower young people with digital skills by supporting hundreds of coding events organized by non-profits. This year, we need to restructure the program to ensure its longevity and sustainability and answer to the current socio-economic climate.
The 2022 edition will provide grants to eligible NPOs in the following countries: Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.
The events and workshops will continue to be focused on coding or digital skills for youth and will remain free-of-charge for participants.
How we support the United Nation’s Sustainability Goals, aside from providing quality education
At Meet and Code, we believe that a changing society and the transition to a green and digital economy require solid digital competencies. Boosting digital skills at all levels helps increase growth and innovation; it builds a fairer, more cohesive, sustainable, and inclusive society. These aspects are all part of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
In 2015, the United Nations Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. The agenda is based on 17 SDGs which recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change.
In the past editions the events could be aligned to the following SDGs:
