Among many highlights, I will always cherish my time at the Code Week Summer School in Brussels. I had the chance to meet the team behind Code Week, as well as many Leading Teachers. I immensely enjoyed working and spending time together, creating a bond that will last forever in my memory.

I want to extend my sincerest thanks to the entire Code Week team, especially to Tommaso, Konstantinos, Nair, and Annika, with whom I had the privilege to meet and work closely. Thank you for your tireless effort in creating and improving Code Week, taking it to higher levels. Your dedication has been inspiring, and I will miss you.

I wish you all the best in your future projects and adventures.

Your dedication, effort and creativity was truly inspiring!

Thank to each one of you that were a part of this journey all these years, thanks for all the fun, learning and inspiration (especially during the Code Week Summer School in Brussels :) ).

Good luck wherever new adventures will bring you!

I think meeting so many energetic, creative, enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer teachers, ambassadors and other coding enthusiasts has been fantastic.

Also all the creativity that has gone into our community meetings, kick-offs, events, summer schools, pandemic webinars, podcasts, code hunts, coding games, coding and tinkering lessons, outreach activities, the hackathons and the millions and millions and millions of events that you all have made happened is amazing.

I am also very happy that the community inspired me to run a coding club for a few years. I have heard that one of the kids is now studying computer science!

I wish the Schoolnet team, Code Week and all volunteers all the best. The foundation for Code Week has changed before and I am certain that the new path will bring new insights and ideas that will grow the movement even stronger.

You will always stay very close to my heart!

Stay in touch!

Cheers

Memorable experience, we learnt a lot, we had lots of fun, we visited the city, we ate, we drank...but most importantly, we made good friends along the journey who will remain friends forever. Thanks to each and every one of you for making this happen!

Good luck to everyone who makes this great initiative possible!

Back in the days, we wanted to bring together the different grassroot initiatives, and we did so with the first edition counting 3,000 events happening in 26 countries. Since 2015, European Schoolnet team, guided by Tommaso's relentless commitment, have contributed to the steep growth of EU Code Week, which led to the engagement in 2021 of 4 million participants taking part in more than 78.000 activities in 80+ countries.

I couldn't be happier to have been part of this initiative and to have contributed my bit to making coding accessible to people. Probably the greatest learning experience I've had so far, both personally and professionally.

Thank you, Tommaso, for guiding us with your creativity, constant support, and energy during the endless days of work at the office, which have brought you so far.

Thank you for laying the foundations of the initiative. For all the webinars, workshops, events, facebook lives or meetings we run together. For the good fun we had.

Thank you for the Summer School 2019, and for everything I've learned along the way.

Thanks to Annika and Jakub for supporting and fighting for the initiative from day one to the last. Thanks to the entire EUN team, and also to colleagues at the Commission who coordinate the initiative now, because in one way or another, you have all contributed to the growth of this movement.

And thanks to each and every one of you, leading teachers, ambassadors, or coordinators, who have contributed to this initiative, and have turned this community into the wonderful family it is today.

Undoubtedly, a walk to remember.

Thanks for all the chances you create.

The Coding Summer School in 2019 is an indelible memory that continues to inspire me. Beyond being a learning and collaborative opportunity, it was a moment where we forged a special bond. The exchange of ideas and the collective passion for promoting digital literacy in education made that experience truly unique.

Our collaboration has continued to thrive, becoming a cornerstone of our shared commitment to educational innovation. Your constant support and dedication have played a fundamental role in driving positive change in the field of education.

Coding in schools is an invaluable resource for equipping students with essential skills for the future, such as problem-solving, creativity, and logical thinking. I am proud to be part of a community that not only recognizes the importance of integrating coding into education but actively works towards its realization.

On a personal level, the experiences and skills gained through our collaboration have shaped my professional journey. These skills continue to open doors to exciting opportunities, allowing me to contribute significantly to the world of education.

Looking ahead, I am confident that our collective efforts will continue to positively influence education in Europe and beyond. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, passion, and dedication to this transformative cause.

Here's to us and the incredible opportunities that lie ahead!
