About The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Barbados

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global framework for non-formal education and learning, which challenges young people to dream big, celebrate their achievements and make a difference in their world. Through developing universal and transferable skills, increasing their fitness levels, cultivating a sense of adventure and volunteering in their community, the Award inspires young people to take control, make their own choices and build their own programmes, helping them to find their purpose, passion and place in the world. The Award was first introduced to the island in 1963. Today the Award is available in secondary schools, churches and is delivered the Barbados Cadet Corps, The Girl Guides Association of Barbados and the Barbados Boy Scouts Association. The Award is delivered and administered by a team of dedicated volunteers, led by the National Award Council.
