CODI Program Development

The program is being structured through various actions.

1. The first was the creation of a Digital Training Platform with content up to 90 hours of training, which includes materials and teaching guides. It also serves for project monitoring and pedagogical support throughout Spain. An educational methodology has been developed with content suitable for each age group (9-11 years, 12-13 years, and 14-17 years) and competency level, ensuring meaningful learning and the acquisition of digital skills according to the European Digital Competence Framework DigComp 2.1 by the European Commission.
2. Secondly, through the Sectorial Conference on Childhood and Adolescence Full Agreement held on December 13, 2022, the Proposal for Territorial Distribution to Autonomous Communities and Cities was approved, totaling 50 million euros, for funds for digital skills training for children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, for eligible autonomous communities and cities within the "Digital Skills for Children (CODI)" program of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan. This territorial distribution was the result of applying variables for fund distribution by type of investment, seeking to ensure resources reach the areas with the greatest need and potential impact.

   • Certificate of the Sector Conference Agreement (December 13, 2022)
   • Modification of the Sector Conference Agreement (October 11, 2023)
   • Modification of the Council of Ministers Agreement (December 27, 2023)
3. And thirdly, through Royal Decree 1086/2023 of December 12, which regulates the direct granting of subsidies to Third Sector entities for implementing digital skills training activities for vulnerable children, adolescents, and youth within the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, the Ministry of Youth and Childhood has allocated 97,041,430 euros to twelve Third Sector entities. Given the nature of the activities and their goal to reach a large number of socially vulnerable children, adolescents, and young people, the Ministry of Youth and Childhood has opted for the direct allocation of funds to Third Sector Social Action entities with experience, capacity, and sufficient implementation to develop such projects, reaching vulnerable children who would otherwise not benefit from the CODI program. Therefore, competition mechanisms could not be applied in grant awarding because these are subsidies that finance specific and closed actions, in compliance with the milestones set in the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.
