At a ceremony at the National Museum of History, Vice President Iliana Yotova will award 31 Bulgarian students who took part in the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.

The distinction is an international youth programme, in which young people aged 14 to 24, with the help of leaders, can attain goals they have set themselves. In the three programme levels the young people set themselves challenges in various spheres, acquiring skills and qualities contributing to their personal development and active involvement in the community. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award takes place in Bulgaria under the patronage of President Rumen Radev.
