The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Youth Award, the world’s leading youth achievement
award, is offered around the globe, operating in over 130 countries, and has encouraged millions
of young people to challenge themselves. The Bilkent Erzurum Laboratory School is proud to
offer the Award at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels to pupils aged 14 and older.
Doing the Award is a personal challenge and not a competition against others; it pushes young
people to their personal limits and recognizes their achievements. The Award also can play a
critical role in the students’ development outside the classroom, focusing on communication,
problem solving, and leadership skills.
