The International Award

The International Award 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.
