Duke of Edinburgh Award
Enrichment Overview
The DofE is an internationally recognised award favoured by employers and universities alike. By participating in the DofE Award you will develop key skills of confidence, dedication and commitment. You can design your own DofE programme. Activities within the DofE programme can be matched with those you are already doing. For example, activities like playing football, learning an instrument or being a member of the Student Council can be used as evidence towards the DofE bronze award. Most enrichment options within this guide can be used as a skill evidence for the bronze and silver awards. See page 4 for more information about how your enrichment can support a DofE award.
Sign up to the DofE programme if you want to develop personal skills including time management, problem solving and initiative. It will also improve your interpersonal skills and give
you friendships and memories for life!
