We are interested in being in the DofE

We are part of the DofE

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Czech Republic (DofE) is an education programme that supports young people in more than 130 countries around the world to develop for the long term. It aims to give everyone the chance to be #WorldReady, that is, ready for the challenges of the modern world.

The programme is designed for everyone between the ages of 14 and 24 and is based on non-formal education in the form of experiential pedagogy. Over 230 institutions and more than 5,000 pupils and students are currently involved in the Czech Republic.

Who can provide DofE?

The programme can be provided by primary and secondary schools, universities, non-profit organisations, children's homes, sports clubs, leisure centres, municipalities and other institutions working with youth.

You can also start delivering the DofE programme in your school or youth work organisation. It's simple:

  • get acquainted with the program and  contact your regional manager
  • select suitable people and register them for DofE training accredited by the Ministry of Education
  • Together, we will introduce the programme at your institution and help you recruit participants
  • the DofE programme can start with you
Request for involvement

DofE institutions pay an annual contribution to the implementation and development of the programme, which varies according to the type of institution:

  • Non-profit organizations, children's homes: 0 CZK
  • Children's and youth homes, leisure centres: 4 500 CZK
  • State (public) secondary and primary schools: 9 500 CZK
  • Private schools: 17 500 CZK
  • International schools: 35 000 CZK

The allowance always applies to the school year. If your institution does not have the opportunity to draw on funding for the DofE programme from a funder or one of our partner organisations (usually through DofE memoranda with counties and cities or private bodies), you can try the programme for the first year for free to see how the DofE benefits your school. For more information, please contact your DofE Regional Manager (see the Contact section).
