Ms Saeeda Ahmed was invited to give this talk about "Success and Empowerment" to 12-16-year-old students in Vallbona d'Anoia, Barcelona, Spain, on 24th May 2017. SES Vallbona d'Anoia high school is part of the Erasmus+ project E.C.L.I.P.S.E. (Enhancing Cultural Literacy through Innovative Practice and Skills in Europe). This event, which gathered Erasmus Creativity Club members and a selection of students from all the grades at the school, was part of the multiplier events held on the school's "British Day". Saeeda encouraged students to believe in themselves and work hard to accomplish their dreams and challenges in life while being attentive and respectful to all the people around them - who might help them or inspire them at key points in life - and keeping the faith when facing adversity. Saeeda is currently a strategic adviser on an international think tank that promotes peace and democracy in the Middle East, non-executive director for Social Firms UK and a Board member for Pupil Referral Unit which supports young people that are not succeeding in the mainstream education system.
