Announcing our 2022 Kurt Hahn Prize winners

Posted: 18 May 2022

Congratulations to this year’s recipients of the Kurt Hahn Prize, Sena Yenilmez and Meera Baswan, two grade 11 students at St Mildred’s Lightbourn School. Sena and Meera are co-founders of The Indigenous Foundation, an organization that works to actively uplift and amplify Indigenous voices, raising awareness and encouraging accountability for Indigenous rights.

Since November 2020 their Instagram account has amassed 63,000 followers, they have reached more than 1,000,000 people and raised more than $10,000 towards the Indian Residential Schools Survivors’ Society and the Native Wellness Institute.

Please join us in congratulating Meera and Sena. We will be hearing more about their initiative at the RSIC2022 when they will be speaking at the Opening Ceremony in Oxford. The Kurt Hahn Prize is awarded to recognise individual student achievement and in recognition of an exceptional act of service to others.

The prize was donated to Round Square on 5 June 1966 by Altsalemer Vereinigung (Salem Alumni) on the occasion of Dr Kurt Hahn’s 80th birthday, in appreciation of his lifelong contribution to education.
