EU Code Week thrives thanks to a vast, international community of volunteers. In this page you can meet the members that are active in your country.

Ambassadors

EU Code Week Ambassadors are the main point of contact for Code Week in each country and help spread the vision of Code Week locally. The Ambassadors connect people, companies and communities interested in supporting EU Code Week. They encourage organisers to register coding activities on the Code Week map, and promote the overall participation in EU Code Week. Ambassadors also review and approve activities in their country. Ambassadors also work with their peers in other countries and meet regularly to discuss how to further develop the initiative.

Marisa Abela Gatt

In my role within the Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA), I support the planning, coordination, implementation, and monitoring of projects aligned with the Authority’s strategic objectives. This includes managing project timelines and deliverables, coordinating with internal teams and external stakeholders, ensuring compliance with contractual, regulatory, and EU funding requirements, and supporting reporting and governance processes. The role contributes to the effective delivery of initiatives that promote digital innovation, skills development, and trust in emerging technologies in line with national and EU priorities. I collaborate closely with schools, Directorates, local organisations, libraries and private industry partners.

Leading teachers

Leading teachers is an active community of more than 450 educators from across Europe. They help connect schools, teachers and students interested in participating to Code Week and encourage them to organise activities and register them on the Code Week map. The Leading teachers hold professional development webinars in their language and are a reference point for other teachers in the country but also in Europe. They also promote the initiative locally. If you are a teacher, you can find Leading teachers near you to connect with on the map.

Edu coordinators

EU Code Week Edu coordinators are correspondents in Ministries of Education or other educational authorities and organisations participating in EU Code Week. Edu coordinators strengthen the foundations of the initiative by supporting teachers and schools nation-wide. This includes communication with schools who already participate in EU Code Week to learn about their best practices and share experience. Edu coordinators also support schools that want to participate in the initiative, by providing available resources, learning material and opportunities within the community.
