Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program.
This program is an exciting self-development programme available to all
young people between the ages of 14 and 25. It aims to equip them with
life skills to make a difference to themselves, their communities and
the world.
Launched in the UK in 1956 as The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, the Award
has now spread to 126 countries. Our goal is to have one million young
people participating in the Programme by the end of the decade.
