'Coding our Future' an Erasmus+ KA1 project organised by the MCA

The Malta Communications Authority (MCA) has just closed off an Erasmus+ funded project under KA1 called “Coding Our Future” for training of some of its staff members for the period 2017-2018. The mobilities took place in two of All Digital member organisations namely: Media Actie Kuregem – Stad (MAKS) and Vaata Maailma SA in Estonia.

The project’s objective was to collaborate and enhance the network with key partners across the EU to establish best practice models for prompting coding to kids from a young age, whilst also providing a channel for discussion and debate on related issues concerning STEM subjects at school. Furthermore, this has also helped staff strengthen their communication skills and to deliver projects about Internet Technologies that target the little ones. Another issue which was brought up was to try and address the growing problem of having less STEM graduates year after year, whilst demand in such careers is on the rise.
