Recode Challenge
Recode challenge seeks to encourage young people between 15 and 29 years old to generate initiatives that mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in socialy vulnerable communities. The initiatives must be able to be carried out digitally and remotely. In order to send initiatives, participants must first take a training course about digital solutions, taught by volunteers from the organization Recode. By doing this, the challenge also fosters the empowerment of young people (with an emphasis on those with few resources) by increasing their knowledge, and aims to improve participants' socio-emotional skills along the process, such as empathy, self-knowledge and communication. 50 initiatives are shortlisted and their creators are mentored by Recode's staff, so that the initiatives can be implemented. Finally, 5 of them are awarded by Recode.
