We are delighted to confirm that His Royal Highness, Prince Edward, 皇冠体育app Earl of Wessex KG GCVO, will be visiting Ghana between 23-26 May as part of his role with 皇冠体育app Duke of Edinburgh鈥檚 International Award Scheme. 皇冠体育app Duke of Edinburgh鈥檚 Award scheme is associated with the Head of State Awards Scheme in Ghana. 皇冠体育app Earl will meet senior Ghanaian officials including His Excellency 皇冠体育app President. 皇冠体育app Earl and President Mahama will together present Head of State Awards to young Ghanaians who have successfully participated in the scheme over the past few years.

His Royal Highness is the youngest child of Her Majesty 皇冠体育app Queen and His Royal Highness 皇冠体育app Duke of Edinburgh. 皇冠体育app Earl supports Her Majesty in her official duties and undertakes public engagements for a large number of his own charities. 皇冠体育app Earl has been deeply committed to the work of 皇冠体育app Duke of Edinburgh鈥檚 Award since undertaking his own Award in 1986.

This scheme is available to all 14-24 year olds and is the world鈥檚 leading youth achievement award. It equips all young people for life regardless of their background, culture, physical ability, skills and interests. Doing the Award is a personal challenge and not a competition against others; it pushes young people to their personal limits and recognises their achievements consistently. Since its launch 60 years ago, the Award has inspired millions of young people to transform their lives. Through non formal education, the Award can play a critical role in a young person鈥檚 personal development and is achievable by any 14-24 year old who wants to take up the challenge. 皇冠体育app ambition of the award in Ghana is to grow its participation rate from 0.1% to 2% of Ghana鈥檚 youth population by 2020.
