Beyond the classroom!!!
How do we spend our leisure time mostly? Travelling, reading books, dancing, singing, painting, writing, volunteering, following our favourite hobbies like martial arts, playing musical instruments, writing poetry and many more. Sometimes we even stay without doing anything. But imagine, what if we were awarded for just spending our leisure time wisely? It would be amazing right? This imagination can be turned into reality by being a part of the Duke of Edinburgh International Award.
The Duke of Edinburgh International Award is a global platform where individuals (14-24 age group) can participate regardless of any gender, background or ability. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award (DoEIA) in Nepal promotes overall development through personalised non-competitive activities. It encourages young people to use their free time productively, nurturing physical, mental, and spiritual growth without focusing on material rewards. Not all learning happens inside the classroom. Some of the most valuable lessons come from stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing new challenges, and experiencing the world firsthand.
