The project MEET & CODE focuses on the social inclusion and education of young people through digital skills, specifically targeting people from underserved communities and migrant backgrounds. Through an introduction to the basics of programming, participants developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills, understanding the logic behind coding. Project outcomes include early exposure of young people to programming, enabling them to lay a strong foundation for future technological learning, as well as empowerment and inclusion that help bridge the digital divide and promote their educational and social inclusion.
