The award enables the experience of self-efficacy and appreciation outside the classroom and promotes socio-emotional skills.

The duration of the programme and the successive stages make it possible to establish long-term habits that lead to a lasting change in the participants’ lives.

Educational institutions promote an identity-forming school life, sharpen their extracurricular profile, network with extracurricular places of learning and enable participants to receive an internationally recognised award regardless of their initial prerequisites.

Donations enable our association to recruit schools in challenging situations as programme providers, train teachers as Award Leaders and provide them with intensive support for a year.

Our corporate partners demonstrate social commitment and take responsibility for our society (CSR). This increases their attractiveness for customers and employees.

Volunteers support participants as mentors and accompany them on expeditions. In doing so, they also develop as personalities and strengthen their own leadership skills.
