THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD
Challenging Young People Everywhere

THE INTERNATIONAL AWARD, formerly known as The Duke of Edinburgh Award for Young People, was founded by Kurt Hahn and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, in Great Britain in 1956. Designed to help young people develop a sense of responsibility in themselves and their community by expanding their horizons, the Award has evolved into one of the most comprehensive individual development, self-training and personal achievement programmes in the world. To date over 5 million young people from over 100 countries have been motivated to undertake a variety of voluntary and challenging activities.

The Award is flexible and can be done by anyone aged 14 - 25 in their own time; mental or physical ability or social circumstances should never be a barrier. Moreover, the individual chooses what activities to do depending on his or her interests and resources.
