Silver Coders – Developing the Creativity of Older Adults through Coding

Digital Literacy Improvement Through
Effective Learning experiences for Adults.
Silver Coders project aims to reinforce
the coding abilities of 55+ people.

The European Union defined as one objective of the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition to ensure that everyone has the right digital skills (including coding) to thrive in society and on the labour market. And right now more than 90% of professional occupations require digital competences, including programming, while there is also a shortage of qualified staff. This gap is not specific to a particular country; rather, it is evident at a European level calling for interventions to address it towards enhancing sustainable economic growth through the development of human capital, enhancing European competitiveness, reducing unemployment, and promoting social cohesion.
