These are contagious stories that will entice over 15,000 young women in 24 Italian provinces and involve 32 academic partners over the course of the 7th edition of #CodingGirls, the national programme promoting the participation (and permanence) of young women on the job market.
The project is based on transformative experiences to create a critical mass in favour of gender equality, orient Generation Z towards scientific and technological sectors that increasingly require specialistic competences and contribute to the digital transformation of the country and female professionality.
Coding Girls is promoted by a large alliance headed by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and composed of young men and women, teachers, school administrators and families, as well as companies, universities and public and private organisations. The programme is backed by the United States Diplomatic Mission to Italy, in collaboration with Microsoft, and now also includes new partners that have “adopted” schools, areas and entire educational communities, such as the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo in Turin, ENI in Milan and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Naples. And the alliance is destined to expand.
