EU Code Week & diversamente coding

admin — Tue, 07 May 2019 08:37:33 +0000

The diversamente coding partnership is taking part in EU Code Week 2019. We are looking forward to this great opportunity to showcase the fact that coding is for everyone, even for people with hearing difficulties.

What is EU Code Week?

EU Code Week is a grassroots initiative, which aims to bring coding and digital literacy to everybody in a fun and engaging way.

When is it taking place?

5-20 October 2019

Why is coding important?

Learning to code helps us to make sense of the rapidly changing world around us, expand our understanding of how technology works, and develop skills and capabilities in order to explore new
ideas and innovate.

digital skills survey

The diversamente coding partners are currently in the process of developing and carrying out a survey to assess the digital training needs of people who are deaf. The survey will be carried out transnationally (in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Spain and Austria) and includes questions such as:

What is the general level of digital literacy amongst the target group?
What are the attitudes and perceptions about computer programming?
How can basic digital skills be applied in everyday life?
What training methods and tools should be used?

Individuals, as well as organisations and associations working in this field, will be asked to complete the survey. Once collected, the data will be analysed and reports compiled. These will form the basis of the training course to be developed later in the project.
