Added Value
Initiation of the project ended in XII 2014, but it will be carried out as a GO_PRO! Program. In next years, with support of public and private bodies we would like to open new centers. The existing GO_PRO! Network sign contracts to continue courses within Coder Clubs at least till the end of 2020. During this year thousands of young Poles had been inspired to develop ICT skills. Each GO_PRO! trainer was prepared also to encourage young girls to take part in the workshops, also to make sure, that they will have equal access to such a future-oriented skills.
