The Duke of Edinburgh International Award is one of leading youth development programs in the world for students 14 years of age and older. 

Grow & Achieve

It is a non-competitive, voluntary programme, that allows students to set their own goals and challenge themselves on a journey of personal growth.  Participants need to improve themselves in four key areas.

The Award is divided into three stages: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, each having a set of requirements to fulfill.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global mark of achievement. Wherever in the world young people may have participated, I know that they will have learned first-hand about teamworking, respect, excellence and courage – values that BP holds dear.
