Leen Salim

Leen Salim is a young Syrian who believes in the power of youth and their ability to build a more peaceful, just and sustainable world where all people are equal in dignity and rights. She is a medical student and volunteered as a student coordinator in Paper Airplanes (NGO) that provides free virtual language and skills instruction to conflict-affected people and enables them to pursue their higher education and employment. Leen is always happy to take up new opportunities and she considers herself as a lifelong learner. She joined IofC last year as a participant and is thrilled to take part as a facilitator this year as she appreciates providing youth a safe and healthy space, all the while empowering and inspiring them with stories from changemakers from around the world.
