News for all DofE programme leaders and coordinators

News
During the holidays, we have prepared several new features to facilitate your work with participants. One of them is PayPal payment for registering a participant in the Online Record Book.
You ask us how you can tell that a participant has already paid via PayPal. When you confirm and approve the registration, you will see the transaction ID. If the ID is not present, it means that the participant has not yet paid and do not approve the registration. During September, for the last time, the ORB billing for the past year will take place.

DofE story
EMAS Conference
The DofE EMAS (Europe, Mediterranean and Arab States) conference took place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, at the beginning of July. It welcomed 56 delegates from 19 countries and the Czech Republic had 3 representatives who presented the work of our organisation to others and established new international contacts.
Over the course of 3 days, delegates from the national centres had the opportunity to learn about new developments and upcoming changes to the global foundation programme. Of course, there was also sharing of good practices.

Calendar
We've streamlined PRE-registration for ceremonies into one form. On this form, we ask you to fill in an estimate of the number of participants for the Gold, Silver and Bronze ceremonies this year. The REGISTRATION form for each participant will be the same as in the past and will be sent out three weeks prior to the ceremony. Starting this school year, we are also expanding the Bronze Ceremonies from Prague to Brno and Ostrava. You can find out where your ceremony will take place directly on the form. Please fill it out by September 27.
