Award Leader
Without the outstanding commitment of our Award Leaders, the implementation of the Duke Award would not be possible. They are the “Super-Dukes”, the heroines of the daily work on the ground, who support young people to start a self-determined and fulfilled life with self-confidence and a strong belief in their abilities. We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts.
