Friends of Award to help more young people THE Duke of Edinburgh's International Award – Malta will be launching the Friends of the Award Programme. Through this initiative, the Duke of Edin- burgh's International Award seeks to recognise and thank its donors for their support, whilst encouraging more in- dividuals and corporates, to become a Friend. The Friends' programme is open to trusts, foundations, individuals, corporates and in-kind supporters who share the goal of making an impact on young people's lives. Their support ensures the long-term development and sustainability of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award in Malta. The Friends of the Award initiative will be launched during a lunch held at the Casino Maltese, Valletta, in the presence of the Patron of the Award in Malta, Presi- dent Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, as well as the founder of the Duke of Edinburgh's award himself, The Duke of Edinburgh KG KT. During the launch, the first group of Friends of the Award will receive a certificate of rec- ognition from the Patron, President Marie Louise Co- leiro Preca. As the world's leading youth achievement award, the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award equips young people for life and work. The Duke of Edin- burgh's Award Programme defines what good non-for- mal education looks like, provides a tried and tested framework for its delivery in any context where young people might be gathered, and allows achievement to be recognised in a way that is consistent worldwide, so giving young people inter- nationally recognised ac- creditation of their experi- ences. Employers worldwide recognize the programme's worth as an empowerment tool, and many large or- ganizations even offer the Award to young employees as part of a progressive ca- reer path within their or- ganization. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award aims to make its programme available and accessible to all young people in Malta. This is only pos- sible through the support of donors and corporate supporters who ensure the long-term develop- ment and sustainability of The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. The Friends will be giving an opportunity to experience new things, develop con- fidence and learn skills for life to more young people in Malta.
