The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global framework for non-formal education and learning that challenges young people to dream big, celebrate their achievements, and make a difference in their world. By helping young people find their purpose, passion, and place in the world through developing transferable skills, increasing their fitness levels, cultivating a sense of adventure, and volunteering in their community, the Award helps them find their worldview.
