Lifetime Achievement Award for our Turkish Language Teacher

We are extremely proud of our Turkish Home Language Teacher, Dilek Livaneli, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the She Inspires Foundation in the UK at their 10th anniversary gala evening.

The She Inspires Awards celebrates the remarkable contributions of women who help to make the world a better place, an event where women from all walks of life showcase extraordinary examples of courage, victory, compassion, transformation, skill and achievement.

Dilek was very honoured and happy to represent her country at the awards, and to receive this accolade in recognition of her ongoing work in schools across Turkiye:

“To stand among such inspiring women, representing my country and sharing my story on this global stage, was a deeply emotional and unforgettable experience.

The award ceremony was nothing short of magical - a night filled with stories of courage, transformation, and triumph that illuminated the strength and resilience of women across the world.

This recognition is not just mine, it belongs to every student I’ve taught, every woman I’ve supported and every community that has embraced the spirit of education and empowerment.

I am forever grateful to the She Inspires Foundation, the incredible organisers and everyone who has been a part of my journey. This award is a reminder that dreams, when shared with purpose and passion, truly have no limits.”

Dilek’s story shows that teaching is not just a profession, but a lifestyle that offers hope, inspiration and new opportunities to the community. We congratulate Dilek on this well-deserved achievement!
