奖项理念
Award Philosophy
什么是爱丁堡公爵国际奖？
爱丁堡公爵国际奖是世界领先的青少年成就奖，在全球140多个国家和地区助力青少年成长。爱奖面向所有14-24岁的年轻人。参与爱奖是对个人的挑战，而非与他人竞争；它促使年轻人不断挑战个人极限，认可自己所取得的成绩。爱奖鼓励年轻人设定属于自己的项目活动、目标，挑战自我，实现目标。
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is the world’s leading youth achievement Award and equips young people for life in over 140 countries and territories across the globe.
The Award is available to all young people aged 14‐24. Doing the Award is a personal challenge and not a competition against others; it pushes young people to their personal limits and recognizes their achievements consistently.
The Award encourages young people to design their own programme of activities, set their own goals and challenge themselves to achieve their aims.
爱丁堡公爵国际奖的内容是？
爱丁堡公爵国际奖分为铜奖、银奖、金奖三个奖项级别，志愿服务、体育锻炼、技能学习、户外探索四个科目。在金奖级别，参与者还需要完成团体生活项目。
The Award is comprised of three levels and four sections. Participants complete all four sections at each level in order to achieve their Award. At Gold level, participants also complete a Residential Project.
每个人都是独特的，因此青年为获得奖项而选择面临的挑战也不同、该奖项是有关于个人挑战、活动多样性、个人追随目标的耐力与持续性、团队支持与合作，以及被认可。
The award is about individual challenge, variety of activity, duration, support and teamwork and recognition. As every individual is different, so too are the challenges that young people undertake to achieve their Award.
该奖项参加者在其奖项导师，活动评估员或其他奖项志愿者的指导下，鼓励每个年轻人审视自己，自己兴趣，能力和抱负，然后奖项规定四个不同科目中（自愿服务，技能，体育锻炼和户外探索）设计或选择在该科目内的活动。这些挑战需要毅力和恒心来完成。
With guidance from their Award Leader, activity Assessor, or other Award volunteers, each young person is encouraged to look at themselves, their interests, abilities, and ambitions, then set themselves challenges in the four different Section of the Award (Voluntary Service, Skill, Physical Recreation and Adventurous Journey).
过程中，参与者可能想放弃，但奖项之旅结束时，他们会知道自己克服了挑战获得成功。了解自己和自己内在的性格，并在此过程中成长。对于个人而言，这些挑战须处于合适的水平，这一点很重要，太容易则没有真正的成就感，太难会容易放弃。
These challenges should require persistence and determination to overcome. Along the way, Participants may want to give up but at the end of their Award Journey, they will have the satisfaction of knowing they overcame the challenges they faced and succeeded; learning about themselves, their hidden depths of character, and developing as human being in the process. It is important that these challenges are at the right level for the individual - too easy and there will be no sense of real achievement, too difficult and the young person may give up.
青年无需为了获得该奖项而精益求精，他们只需要设定对个人有挑战的持续改进目标并努力实现。关键是日常的努力，以及与具有专业知识并指导参与者的活动评估者定期互动。最后，为了帮助年轻人克服困难和挑战，该奖项为他们提供了体验式学习的机会。库尔特-哈恩（Kurt Hahn）博士等人发展了“体验式学习”的理念，从直接的体验中获取意义。
Young people do not need to excel to achieve the Award, they simply need to set personally challenging goals for improvement and demonstrate effort as they strive to reach these goals. A demonstration of commitment through typically weekly effort is the key, along with regular interaction with the activity assessor who has subject matter expertivse and mentors the Award participant. Finally, to help young people overcome their fears and challenges, the Award provides them with opportunities to learn from experience. Dr Kurt Hahn, among other, helped to develop the philosophy of ‘experiential learning’, a process of making meaning from direct experiences.

体验式学习闭环模型
The Learning Cycle
库尔特·哈恩（Kurt Hahn）博士
“体验式学习”发明人
“体验式学习”的理论重点是人要在任何情景钟通过计划（Plan）、实践（Do）、复盘与总结（Review）三步，便可在体验中学习与成长。注意是一个体验学习闭环，没有先后关系、而奖项鼓励参加者使用这个一样学习闭环实践各级奖项的科目，而从中得到成长记培养良好的学习习惯。
The theory of "experiential learning" focuses on the fact that people learn and grow through experience by planning, doing, and reviewing in three steps in any situation. The award encourages participants to use the same learning loop to practice the subject matter of the award at all levels and to grow and develop good study habits.
