On Wednesday 4th December, 15 students from Monaco who participated this summer in Outward Bound programmes in England and Wales were reunited for the Outward Bound Monaco annual awards ceremony at the Yacht Club de Monaco.
Outward Bound Monaco was delighted to welcome Lord Sebastian Coe, family, friends, patrons and members of the association to the event. The proud students received their diplomas from the Patron of Outward Bound Monaco, H.S.H. Prince Albert of Monaco, who praised their courage and resourcefulness in the face of the challenges that an Outward Bound programme offers.
Sarah O’Connor, President of Outward Bound Monaco commented:
“The aim of Outward Bound is to help young people believe they can achieve more than they thought possible. We are not talking about aspirations, but about belief in what you can do based on physical experience. Outward Bound takes young people out of their comfort zones and on adventures in wild places. It presents young people with challenges which help them to know themselves.
This evening has been a celebration of Outward Bound and the positive impact its courses can have on the lives of young people. I would like to thank all our supporters and helpers who have made this possible and our Patron H.S.H. Prince Albert of Monaco for once again taking the time to meet the students and present their certificates and also Lord Sebastian Coe for joining us and supporting Outward Bound.”
The evening was a proud moment for the students, aged 10 to 17 years old, who gave time, energy and commitment this summer to do something which tested their limits but also rewarded them with a sense of achievement when they overcame new challenges.
