When do I receive my Award?
To receive your award, you must have completed all activities in the program components. Once you have completed the required number of hours, you can contact your assessor via the ORB. Ask them to issue you with an appraisal. You then send a message to your Award Leader and ask them to confirm that you have successfully completed the program part.
As soon as your Award Leader has confirmed this, it will be forwarded to our association. We will then check whether all requirements have been met. If this is the case, you will receive a message that you have completed your award – congratulations!
How will I receive my Award?
This is the responsibility of your educational institution and your Award Leader. They (together with you) organize a festive setting and order the awards from us.
Every year, our association organizes major award ceremonies in Berlin and elsewhere, where young people are presented with their award. Past highlights have included guests such as Prince Edward (Duke of Edinburgh), the British Ambassador and the Lord Mayor of Berlin, who have acted as patrons, guests of honor and award presenters.
What happens after my Award?
Once you have achieved your Bronze or Silver Award, you can proceed directly to the next level. Ask your Award Leader to send you an invitation via the ORB. You can also register for the next level yourself and ask your Award Leader to confirm your registration.
If you are looking for a commitment or simply want to do more for the Award, you can apply for the position of Youth Ambassador between January and March each year. These represent the Award to the outside world and carry the voice of young people into the association.
However, when your Award journey comes to an end, you can stay in touch with us as an Award Alumni and attend exciting events.
Perhaps you would also be interested in volunteering for the Duke Award? Then train as a student mentor or Award Leader and support other young people in achieving their Award.
