Reviews From DofE Participants

"I enjoyed learning about different parties, religion events and celebrations around the world. I enjoyed learning about how the plan my own events and what I’d need to consider, the types of food/drink, how many people should be invited and different themes"

B.E. Silver DofE Award Participant

"I enjoyed learning about all of the key aspects of planning a party. It has taught me that when you plan a bigger event that you will need a contingency plan. This is where you have an alternative to your original idea in case of any last minute changes"
