The Arts Award
Arts Award is a DofE Approved Activity Provider, meaning that your young people can link their Arts Award and DofE activity, and that Arts Award is a recognised activity as part of the DofE Skills section. The links don’t end there, and can be made across most sections of a DofE programme. You can link any level of DofE with any level of Arts
Award, it doesn’t have to be Bronze to Bronze for example – you just need to work out the level that’s right for your young people and the programme they are following.
