The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a positive and rewarding challenge of self-discovery. By selecting and undertaking four core activities within the Award Framework and regularly working towards individual goals, participants aged 14 – 24 are equipped and empowered to achieve their personal best, take ownership of their own goals and life choices, and become actively engaged with their community and the workforce.
The Duke of Ed Framework is one of individual challenge. It presents young people with a program of voluntary activities that encourage personal discovery and growth, self-reliance, perseverance, responsibility, and community service. Each person undertaking the Award Framework learns a skill, becomes more physically active, volunteers in their community, and undertakes a team adventure. For the Gold Award, they also undertake a purposeful activity in a residential setting in the company of others who are not their usual companions.
