Celebrate 60 years of the Award internationally by taking part in the Diamond Challenge
As part of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Diamond Anniversary celebrations we’re inviting everyone to take the DofE Diamond Challenge.
The Challenge is inspired by the Award, asking you to take on your own adventure, personal or skill challenge.
Your challenge can be as big or as small as you like, from kayaking to mastering jam making. If it’s a challenge to you, it counts. And the best part is, it...’s open to anyone of any age, anywhere!
So if you never had the chance to get involved while growing up, if your kids are doing it now, if you’re doing your Award now or if you’re just looking for a reason to get out of your comfort zone, seize the day
The Award in Australia is proud to support the international celebrations and is encouraging all Australians to participate in the UK's DofE DIAMOND CHALLENGE. As this is an international milestone, Australian fundraising generated will be directed to supporting the development of the Award in the Solomon Islands.
