The selected project should address all of the following listed activities:

Scaling up the EU Code Week initiative in all EU Member States, EFTA and candidate countries by:

• Managing the network of volunteer EU Code Week ambassadors, as well as volunteer leading teachers and coordinators at the education ministries or other educational authorities and organisations, by engaging them on different channels (including creating central and national communication channels), and regularly bringing these communities together in physical as well as online meetings to discuss ideas and prospects for upcoming Code Week editions, to strengthen the community spirit (e.g. by organising team activities), and to strengthen cross-border collaborations among community members, schools and students;
• Expanding the volunteer network by focusing more on attracting a younger audience (students and young professionals) to contribute to the initiative by organising activities and supporting communication actions around Code Week;
• Managing the wider community of tens of thousands of teachers and coding enthusiasts and incentivising them to organise, register and participate in EU Code Week activities (including coding festivals, hackathons, etc.). (for further details see p. 19-21 of  the call document)

To increase the pool of young people, and in particular girls, who would ultimately be interested in studying STEM and ICT and/or embarking on a digital career, by running strategic initiatives, including:

• Introducing training activities for pre-school educators on how to introduce concepts including computational thinking and coding to pre-school children, e.g., by running unplugged activities.
• Running free-of-charge courses or camps during holidays, evenings or weekends on digital topics targeted predominantly at girls attending primary or secondary schools, whereby preferably female teachers should be involved in the teaching to act as role models
• Organising extracurricular afternoon activities throughout the school year to keep pupils attending the above-mentioned courses/camps still engaged in the subject.
• Organising career days targeted at pupils attending secondary schools and young people interested in opting for a career in ICT or digital-related fields, collaborating with female ICT specialists that can act as role models. (for further details see p. 21-22 of  the call document)

The selected proposal is encouraged to launch open calls for participation through financial support to third parties (FSTP). The maximum amount of FSTP, distributed through a grant, is €10 000 per third party (e.g., not-for-profit schools or nongovernmental organisations like a coding club) for the entire action duration. These calls could cover the funding for running Code Week events or camps/courses organised by schools or by non-governmental organisations (e.g., coding clubs). The grants could cover costs for purchasing hardware (tablets, robotics, etc.), software, reimbursement of expenses for travel and accommodation (e.g., guest speakers/invited teaching staff) and catering. FSTP can also be provided in the form of prizes (e.g., for smaller competitions among pupils, etc.). The total financial support to third parties can amount to up to 10% of the EU funding.
