Dynamic Youth Awards and Youth Achievement Awards offer an open framework for accrediting the achievements of young people inside and outside of school. These customisable Awards can be used with young people from P6 onwards – in the classroom, community, and within social settings.

They offer a framework of accreditation that supports existing learning programmes. The Awards offer significant opportunities for young people to develop the four Curriculum for Excellence capacities: successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
