What is the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Residential course?

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE) is a highly regarded program that offers young people the opportunity to challenge themselves and develop their skills and confidence through a series of self-improvement activities. The residential section of the program is a key part of the award, as it provides participants with the opportunity to work as part of a team, develop their leadership skills, and learn how to live and work with others in a new environment.

The residential section of the DofE program typically involves a group of participants spending a set amount of time (usually around five days) living and working together on a collaborative project. Participating in a residential course as part of the DofE program can be a rewarding and enriching experience for young people. It provides them with the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone, develop new skills and interests, and make lasting friendships with their fellow participants. It also helps them to become more confident and self-reliant, and sets them up for success in their future endeavours. Overall, the residential course is an important and integral part of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program, and offers young people the chance to challenge themselves, grow, and learn in a supportive and enriching environment.
