The International Award for Young People(IAYP) is the most adaptable and successful youth empowerment program. The Award Programme was first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1956 as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The aim was to motivate young people aged between 14 and 25 years to become involved in a balanced programme of voluntary self- development activities to take them through the potentially difficult period between adolescence and adulthood.
The IAYP program covers areas of individual skills, service to the community, physical pursuits and adventure, for them to explore and also get international recognition while enjoying these activities, after school hours.
There are 3 levels of the Award- Bronze, Silver and Gold. The Award has a presence in over 130 countries and currently has over 7,85,000 participants.
The Program requires students to spend a minimum of 1 hour a week on each of the following:-
Developing a Skill, Taking up new interests.
Helping the community in some form of service.
Involvement in some form of Physical Activity.
Participate in an Adventure Experience. (Training and Qualifying Camp)
The program has three levels; viz:- Bronze, Silver and Gold.
At each level one can either choose a new field to work on OR achieve a higher proficiency than that achieved in the previous level.
Many students of our school are enrolled for this award. These students have either completed all the four mandatory sections and have won awards or are preparing for the next level. Working under different sections of the award programme, students have developed skills such as time management, teamwork, problem-solving.
