Virtual Award Centre

If your high school, university or work place does not deliver the Award yet and you are under 25 years old, you can do the Award independently through the National Office and we will be assigned a Virtual Award Leader.

Virtual Award Center is a new approach to improve access for young people and marginalised groups to join the Award and have digital tools in communities where the program is not delivered.
We launched the Virtual Award Centre to support young people who had lost contact with their Award Leaders when youth groups and schools were no longer meeting in person.
We connect young people with trained and vetted Award Leaders remotely to complete their Award activities. They find local opportunities for the Skills, Service, and Physical Recreation sections, and they work with the guidance of their Award Leader to plan and execute the Adventurous Journey and Gold Residential Project sections.

Completing the Award this way does require the participant to be self-motivated and to seek out opportunities themselves.

How to get started with the Virtual Award Center

  • Step 1 Decide which level of the Award programme you would like to do – this will depend on your age and time commitments.
  • Step 2 Register on the Online Record Book (ORB) – www.onlinerecordbook.org – to do the Award and select The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Romania as your Virtual Award Center, or contact us for more details at office@dofe.ro / 0771 040 602.
  • Step 3 With your Leader, decide what you are going to do for each section of your Award programme and find an appropriate assessor for each section. Get your activities verified by the National Office Virtual Award Centre provided they meet the Award requirements.
  • Step 4 Get started! Don’t forget to log your progress on the ORB and ask your Assessors to sign off each section as you complete them.
  • Step 5 Once your Award programme is complete, submit this for sign off by theVirtual Award Center where your activity will be verified as complete as per the Award framework requirements. You will join an Award Ceremony and receive your certificate and badge, alongside main sponsors, partners, Award holders, leaders and family from your local or regional community….
