INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Learning to engage by disengaging from the chaos around is needed for the young minds to
channelize their energy in the right direction. The International Award for young people (IAYP)
is a voluntary, non-competitive award programme available to anyone aged 14-24. It is an amazing
learning experience driven by one’s own interests, can be done at one’s own pace and helps the
participant to challenge oneself. The ease of working towards this award while at home, by
recording the activities one engages in, makes it a truly unique experience. An orientation program
was conducted from 3-4 September 2020 to help the students of classes IX to XII become aware
about it.
