DOFE Ceremonies

You must have completed all activities and dispatches and have them entered in the ORB by the pre-determined deadline. To complete the ceremony you must have a status in ORB: Awaiting Ceremony. You will do best to contact your leader/supervisor before the deadline to have your ORB entries completed in a timely manner.

It's okay, you'll go to the ceremony at another time.

You will receive an electronic certificate each time you complete a level. It will be sent automatically to your email (the one you have registered in ORB). 

Yes, that's enough! For this reason, an electronic version is now also sent to applicants, which you can attach to your CV. Don't forget to show off your electronic certificate on social media and add it to LinkedIn.

The real pin can only be received at the ceremony.

No, participation in the ceremony is not compulsory. But if you don't show up, you won't get a pin, and that would be a shame.

Yes, you will receive an application form at the email address you have registered in ORB! But you must have completed everything, see above.

Invitation to the ceremony is sent to all participants who met the deadline for registration in ORB. You probably do not have the required status in ORB, i.e. Completed - Ceremony, or you did not meet the deadline by which this status had to be entered. Ceremony registration goes to the email you have registered on ORB. Don't forget to check your spam.

You won't lose your electronic certificate, it will arrive in your email (the one you have in ORB). Unfortunately, you will no longer be able to participate in the ceremony.

Unfortunately, it is not possible. If you have completed your ORB registration on time and missed the ceremony, you are not allowed to participate the following year. But don't be sad, your electronic certificate is in your mail and you may always go for next level.

When the moderators call your name at the ceremony, it is your medallion from your application form that they read about, so it's great if you share with us how you enjoyed doing the DOFE.

The first part of the ceremony will offer a festival programme. The graduates will be introduced to our partners who are preparing an interactive programme for them.  

After completing one level, many Award holders are eager to move on - in the DOFE programme and beyond. Our partners will present projects, activities and programmes for young people, whether in volunteering,developing new skills, community initiatives and participation.   

We will introduce all of them in turn on the DOFE social networks. Young people will also get to know the new DOFE patrons who will show them around the festival zone.  

After the ceremony itself, there will be an opportunity for the new Award holders to get to know each other better and perhaps share experiences from the programme. The young people will also leave the ceremony with contacts to other active Award holders. 

For inspiration view photo gallery or our YouTube channel, where you'll find footage from past ceremonies.

Each ceremony is unique and we are even more happy if you want to share your experience from the programme (speech) or perform (singing, playing the piano or other musical instrument, ballroom dancing, etc.).

Unfortunately, that's not possible. The ceremony for which you've applied is fixed.

In order to complete a level in ORB, the dofák must have a status of Awaiting Ceremony at a date to be determined by the National Center. If you have difficulty completing the ORB, please contact us in a timely manner (before the deadline) at: orb@dofe.cz.

It is possible to add the entry to the ORB after the deadline, but the dofák/dofačka will be able to participate in the ceremony at the next date.

Please don't announce the dofaks at the ceremony you, save your strength. Every dofak and every dofak will receive a registration form for the ceremony on his/her e-mail (which he/she has filled in ORB). You may, however, notify them that they should receive such an email.

The participants´ bios will be read directly at the ceremony. They serve for mutual recognition and inspiration.

Each ceremony is unique and we are even more pleased when participants want to share their experiences from the programme (speech) or perform (singing, piano playing, ballroom dancing, etc.). They can choose this option in their applications to the ceremony.

Yes, if you wish to accompany your dofaces and dofaces to the ceremony, you must register for the ceremony. The ceremony registration form will land in your email.

No, each application is unique and in your name. Certificates are then printed based on that application. So everyone applies for the ceremony via their application form, which will be sent to their registered email.

An invitation to the ceremony was extended to all leaders/coordinators who have this year's graduates enrolled in ORB. If you are not one of them, don't despair, the colleague(s) who received the invitation can bring you along as their guest. You will definitely not miss the ceremony. Applications go to the email you have on ORB and be sure to check your spam.
