Promoting Social Inclusion through Coding and ICT skills
About the project
Make a first step in entering the IT world
“CODE-N-SOCIAL: Promoting Social Inclusion through Coding and ICT skills” is a European cooperation project aimed at providing access to quality IT learning and helping people at risk of poverty and social exclusion (AROPE) to get out of the education-poverty trap where they are kept due to prejudices and low quality IT education.
Code-n-Social Project aim is to give guided introduction to coding to those persons who need support, encouragement to fight prejudices and recognizing that your passive IT-user skills can be transferred into valuable competencies for the labour market.
We offer you step-by-step guidance in your mother tongue to build up digital confidence in an environment where even the very basic efforts are encouraged.
Let's learn together HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
The project is funded under the Erasmus+ programme for the period 2017-2019.
