Celebrating 70 years of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the school where it all began.
This film pays to the transformative educational philosophy of challenge, compassion and service that inspired the DofE Awards.
From the first expeditions across the Scottish hills to millions of young people completing their Awards worldwide, the DofE’s impact continues to shape lives, build confidence and unlock potential. Featuring memories, milestones and the enduring values that sparked a global movement, this anniversary video celebrates seven decades of adventure, service and growth.
Here’s to 70 years of empowering young people - and to where it all began.
