Community contribution
For all awards other than those of the Kids' College, a minimum 5% of the credit value for the Children's University and 10% for the Youth University must be for community contribution. This may incorporate a service, performance or public contest/match.
Banking system
On completion of each module, which will be rewarded and may be celebrated in its own right, students will be credited and their credits banked. Credits will accumulate as students opt for further modules towards a Children and Young People’s University Cymru recognised award. The celebration of such an award will take on a different meaning and be celebrated more widely. Children and Young People’s University Cymru credits will be transferable from one activity centre to the next.
Celebrating achievements
On completion of each module the student will receive a Children and Young People’s University Cymru module certificate and the associated credits will be banked.
The administrator will alert the activity centre to any pending award. On completion of a Bronze, Silver or Gold award students will receive a certificate listing all their activities. Bronze and silver awards may be held at a Children and Young People’s University Cymru activity centre.
For those students who have achieved a Gold award, marking the highest personal achievement, a special ceremony will be held at a central venue in the presence of tutors, family and other achievers.
