Register Your Organization and Submit Your Event

Are you a charitable organization keen to organize a digital/coding event for young people? Do you already have a great idea? Then what are you waiting for – you are ready to get register!

All you need is your exemption notice and/or proof of your charitable status, as well as the IBAN and BIC of your organization, for funding to be provided.

To submit an event, first enrol your charity and select your username and password. This will allow you to return and manage your user account. Your submitted event will be reviewed according to the accepted criteria and we will notify you by email.

The following basic criteria apply to event ideas:

1. Each event must revolve around the theme of technology and coding.
2. The event must take place between 1st July and 31st October 2025.
3. The target audience are children and youth between 8 and 24 years old.
4. Participation in the event must be free of charge.
5. The event must be designed to last a minimum duration of 240 minutes. This timeframe can be achieved in one continuous session or divided into multiple sessions. However, if the event is split into several sessions, the same group of participants must attend all of them — different groups for each session are not allowed. In other words, each participant must be engaged in a total of 240 minutes of learning. 
6. Each event must cater to a minimum of 20 children and youth. The events should ideally be focused on and include children and youth with underserved and underrepresented (UU) backgrounds*.

*Underserved and underrepresented groups mean, among other things people with migration and refugee background, from low income households/disadvantaged economic backgrounds, from socially deprived neighbourhoods, with no access to own IT device, ethnic minorities, and children and youth with disabilities.
