We鈥檝e had a very special visit from HRH The Earl of Wessex, today, as he joined students from across Southeast Wales for a special challenge day in Torfaen Learning Zone.

We welcomed more than 50 young people from colleges and schools across Southeast Wales, including a mixture of DofE participants and young people keen to learn more about it. During the DofE challenge day at our Cwmbran campus, they tried their hand at first aid, team building and campaigning, joined by Gold Award holder and DofE Trustee, HRH The Earl of Wessex.

The Earl met learners from local colleges and schools as they took part in a series of fast-paced challenges. They worked in teams to tackle a range of activities reflecting the 鈥� Physical, Skills, Expedition, and Volunteering. This included a team-building challenge, picking up first aid skills, learning to pitch tents and pack equipment, and creating their own mini campaigns on important issues.

It was a privilege to host this special event at our newest campus, Torfaen Learning Zone. We’re proud to support the DofE, helping our young people succeed and prosper as members of our community. The special visit from The Earl, as Trustee of the DofE, made it a memorable and inspirational day for learners, demonstrating the value of the life-long skills they develop through the DofE.

Young people choose their own activities and set their own goals, meaning their DofE can fit around commitments like study, work, caring responsibilities, and social lives.
