🔒 October is Cyber Security Awareness Month! 🔒 As we focus on building a digitally skilled Europe, it's crucial to also emphasise the importance of cybersecurity. Cyber Security Awareness Month serves as a reminder that digital skills go hand-in-hand with digital safety. From understanding online threats to learning how to protect personal data, cybersecurity is a key component of digital literacy. This aligns perfectly with initiatives like EU Code Week, where coding and digital skills are celebrated across Europe. Many of the activities registered on the EU Code Week map are dedicated to raising awareness and preparing young people to stay safe online. By equipping future generations with both coding and cybersecurity knowledge, we’re empowering them to navigate the digital world securely and confidently. Let’s continue to promote safe and innovative digital learning experiences! 💻🌐 Save the date!

Add to this the record high economic inactivity, and it’s clear that engaging young people in the world of work isn’t solely crucial to their own development, but to that of the global economy. More importantly, it’s crucial we don’t forget underserved communities and youth, and ensure they receive access to education, including entrepreneurial skills, writes Salvatore Nigro, CEO JA Europe and Silvia Cappellini, General Manager, UniCredit Foundation.
