How does the Award work?
You will choose activities in 3 areas of the Award: Skills, Physical activity and Volunteering. You then involve 1 hour a week to each one of them. In total, the programme will take you 3 hours a week. In the end, an expedition with friends is waiting for you.
Skills
There are many options to choose from in this area.
From playing a musical instrument through studying foreign languages to cooking or programming.
You set achievable goals and thus improve your skills, work on your talent or acquire completely new skills.
The important thing is that you will enjoy it.
Physical activity
Physical activity will help you improve performance and physical condition.
Maybe you’ll work on teamwork in volleyball or meet new people while skating.
You don’t have to be the best and win medals, you just want to move a little further.
You will also learn to care for a healthy lifestyle.
Service Volunteering
When volunteering, you can work on yourself, but also help others.
You will need to develop your tolerance, responsibility and patience. In addition to tutoring classmates, this includes clearing the forest, working with children, helping with a food bank and much more.
You can ask your leader about volunteering opportunities.
Adventurous Journey
The Adventurous Journey is a challenge for you to overcome fears of the unknown and also an opportunity to go out with nature for a few days and discover interesting places in Romania and abroad.
The expedition always has a purpose, such as mapping forgotten places, collecting plants in a herbarium or overcoming the entire section of the river.
The Gold Residential Project gives participants a shared, purposeful experience with people who are not their usual companions, working towards a common goal. It should be an experience that broadens the participant’s outlook and horizons.
There are many different opportunities for completing a Gold Residential Project. Some suitable categories are listed below. It is worth re-emphasising that the activity must be purposeful and not be considered as a holiday. These may include:
Personal training courses, Environment and conservation projects,
Service to other people and communities or Activity based.
The Award framework
You can choose from a large number of activities in the your area. You set a goal that will motivate you and move you forward.
You choose one of 3 levels. This will determine how long you will spend the program.
You will go on an expedition as a team and you will spend a few days in nature together with your friends. An experienced adult leader will help you.
