The International Award is an exciting self-development program available to all 14 to 25 year olds. Launched in the UK in 1956 as The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, the Program has now spread to 126 countries. Over 6 million young people worldwide have taken up the Award challenge.
The Award is tough but it is about individual challenge, not about reaching specific standards set by someone else. Young people design their own Award Program, set their own goals, and record their own progress. The only person they compete against is themselves, by challenging their own beliefs about what they can achieve. (Visit http://www.intaward.org/ to learn more!)
To earn the award, students participate in four areas: fitness, service, skill, and the adventurous journey. UNIS students are already very involved in the fitness, service and skill areas
Young people who do the Award:
• Discover what they are made of
• Make an impact on their community
• Develop a set of life skills.
• Most of all, they have fun!
