Beyond the Award
This is a podcast channel by the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation (the Award).
Here, the Award holders from across the globe will chat about self-development, career paths, leadership, wellbeing, volunteering, and, of course, the role the Award played in these areas of their lives.
About the Award
Delivered anywhere, by anyone who is passionate about helping young people to achieve, The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global Non-formal Education and Learning (NFEL) framework for young people from all backgrounds and circumstances. By engaging them in experiential learning beyond the classroom, the Award provides the opportunity for 14 to 24-year-olds to challenge themselves, and develop the knowledge, skills and capabilities for life and work in a rapidly changing world.
Since its founding in 1956, it has grown to reach nearly 1.2 million young people annually in more than 130 countries and territories. Every day, 1,500 young people begin their Award journey, taking on everything from environmental restoration and campaigning for inclusion, to the discovery of new passions and career pathways. Their stories show that the Award is far more than numbers. It is defining experiences that enable individuals from every context to transform their lives and grow into confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, and engaged young adults that are #WorldReady.
