Blue Monday?


Not for chemistry teacher Norhan Alsheikh Hidar


She won the UAF Outstanding of the Year award.


After Norhan had to flee Syria in 2014, it proved almost impossible to resume her career as a pharmacist in the Netherlands.

That is why she quickly retrained by a UAF project. Now she teaches chemistry to high school students.


The UAF is the oldest refugee foundation in the Netherlands. The foundation helps refugees to develop themselves further in the field of study and work.

With the UAF Award, the UAF draws attention to the potential and perseverance of refugee students and professionals.


Due to corona, the award ceremony had to take place digitally this year. It was a little tense beforehand, but the ceremony itself went well.


Campaign leader Lise van Zuilekom: "I was actually very relaxed. I could focus on the things that were important to me: showing what beautiful people there are and what their potential is."
