Two successful meet and code events in Duisburg and Cologne.

On the 6th and 20th of October 2019, the African Impulse e.V. joined other institutions throughout Europe to organize Meet and Code events within the framework of the European code week.

The EU code week aims at making kids and young people fit for the digital future. The African impulse e.V. always joins this action as it aligns with our purpose. This year, we chose the cities of Duisburg and Cologne to organize the events.

We look forward to organizing these events yearly and more often. This is the third year in a row that the African Impulse is participating in the European Code week Meet and Code event. We would like to thank Haus des Stftens and the project sponsors for the opportunity to be able to give these young people a chance to be introduced with tools which can change their lives positively in the future.
