That the Parliament congratulates a young woman from Dollar who has been selected as one of just 35 Youth Ambassadors for the Duke of Edinburgh Award; understands that Karolina Pavlikova has recently completed her gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and has now been given a chance to advocate for young people as an ambassador; believes that she will form part of just 35 young people, aged between 16 and 24 from all over the UK, who will share their expertise on key issues impacting people their age, including the hearing of these issues in Parliament and shaping the direction of the Duke of Edinburgh charity’s work; understands that Karolina initially signed up to do her bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award when she was at school in Slovakia and has now completed the silver and gold awards through Dollar Academy; believes that more people than ever before started their Duke of Edinburgh Awards in the UK in 2022-23, with half a million people actively participating, in addition to more schools, community organisations and prisons running the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme; understands that the Youth Ambassador programme is funded by the Gosling Foundation, whose philanthropic mission is said to “support transformation of the nature sector to enable it to protect and restore biodiversity for the benefit of all”, and commends Karolina and all the Youth Ambassadors, as well as everyone participating in their Duke of Edinburgh Award activities.
