By engaging them in experiential learning beyond the classroom, the Award provides the opportunity for 14 to 24-year-olds to challenge themselves, and develop the knowledge, skills and capabilities for life and work in a rapidly changing world.Since its founding in 1956, it has grown to reach nearly 1.2 million young people annually in more than 130 countries and territories. Every day, 1,500 young people begin their Award journey, taking on everything from environmental restoration and campaigning for inclusion, to the discovery of new passions and career pathways.

It is defining experiences that enable individuals from every context to transform their lives and grow into confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, and engaged young adults that are #WorldReady.Let's connect!https://intaward.org/about/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/international_award/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/intawardLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-duke-of-edinburgh's-international-award-foundationYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/intaward

episode The Power of Human Skills cover

The Power of Human Skills

In this episode, we explore human skills — communication, teamwork, empathy, creativity, and other so-called “soft skills” — that are proving just as essential as technical and professional knowledge in both everyday life and the workplace. Together with two experienced Award leaders, we discuss how to develop these skills, why they matter, and their impact on personal and professional growth. This episode opens a wider conversation on human skills. Guests: Gabriella Grech is a Bronze, Silver and Gold Award holder from Gibraltar. She works as a secondary school Physics and Maths teacher and volunteers as an Award Leader and Supervisor at a local centre. In 2025, she represented Gibraltar at the International Gold Event and Forum in Nigeria. John Vincent teaches IGCSE and IB Biology at the Edron Academy in Mexico. He restarted the Duke of Edinburgh's Award at Edron and supports students on their Adventurous Journeys. Prior to Mexico, John worked in Peru for 8 years, running the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, the Outdoor Education programme, and teaching Biology.  Mariana Roa is the Award’s Global Advocacy Manager. She built her career representing her home country, Mexico, at the United Nations and other International Organisations in Geneva - experience that now shapes her work championing the Award at the world stage Hosted by Oksana Dobrovolska, Communications Officer at The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation Stay in touch with us on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/intaward] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/international_award/] | LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-duke-of-edinburgh%27s-international-award-foundation]  Find us on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/1a9B85GjpSCk9n2JuEK8ng?si=d5f2fc3eab454776], Amazon Music [https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/0b8c93de-2f13-4514-ac2d-f0ef8d14fe07/beyond-the-award] and Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-award/id1872993445]
