Over 7 million young people worldwide have taken up the Award challenge.A member of the International Award Association, the Israel Youth Award is one of 62 National Award Authorities delivering the International Award, which started life in the UK in 1956 as The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The Award Programme grew out of the efforts of three men, who were responding to a common anxiety about how best to engage young people. After the war there was a growing concern about the development of boys, due to the gap between leaving school at 15 and entering National Service at 18. Against this backdrop The Duke of Edinburgh's Award was set up in 1956, by HRH Prince Philip, Kurt Hahn, a German educationalist, and Lord Hunt, leader of the first successful ascent of Everest. The Award Programme was introduced in Israel in 1986 by Mr. Yehuda Arel, who perceived it to be a practical challenge to Israeli youth. The Programme is operated in Israel as a not-for-profit organisation chaired by Mr. Nathan Wolloch, Deputy Mayor of Tel-Aviv Yafo, in a joint effort with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Society Administration. In practice, the Award Programme is delivered to young people by Award leaders from different cities and settlement, teachers, and students and leaders who have themselves completed the Programme. The uniqueness of the Programme lies in its multiculturalism and its openness to young people from all sectors of society – religious or socio-economic; It encompasses Jews, Arabs, Druze, Christians and Bedouin; new immigrants and "Sabras" (native Israelis) alike; young people with disabilities, youth at risk, and youth with special needs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Israel youth award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
