Since 1993, this experience has been available to young people in the Czech Republic. The scheme, which encourages young people to become active citizens in their home countries, was introduced to this country by a Czech friend of the British Royal Family, and has the full backing of the Czech senate, where an award ceremony on Tuesday recognised the achievements of young Czechs from all over the country. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/duke_edinburgh_award.jpg?timestamp=1591393551 Duke of Edinburgh Award presented to over sixty young people at Czech Senate https://english.radio.cz/duke-edinburgh-award-presented-over-sixty-young-people-czech-senate-8603092 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
