LEGO® Middle East and GEMS Education Team Up to Celebrate Teachers with Heartfelt Tributes

(MENAFN- Editorial) Dubai, UAE – 03RD October 2024 – LEGO® Middle East, in collaboration with GEMS Education, recently honoured exceptional teachers with a unique and creative gesture. To mark Teachers’ Day in the UAE, the LEGO® Botanicals Collection was chosen as a token of appreciation for the educators who dedicate their lives to nurturing young minds.
In a heart-warming competition, GEMS Education students and parents in Dubai were invited to nominate their favourite teacher, sharing heartfelt messages about why they deserved recognition. Three deserving teachers were selected based on the inspiring stories and nominations received.

The LEGO® mascot made a special visit to The Westminster School, Dubai American Academy, and GEMS World Academy, presenting teachers with beautiful LEGO flower bouquets from the Botanicals Collection.
The LEGO Botanicals Collection, a range of buildable plant sets, features intricate flower and plant designs like roses, succulents, and bonsai trees. These sets, designed for adults, combine the joy of building with the beauty of nature, making them a unique and memorable gift.
“By partnering with GEMS Education, we’re reaffirming our commitment to fostering a love of learning and creativity among children and adults alike,” said Ula Bieganska, Head of Marketing at LEGO Middle East & Africa. “This collaboration showcases the power of LEGO play in bringing communities together and inspiring positive change.”
Leanna Sayar, a teacher at GEMS Dubai American Academy, said: “I am so honoured to have received this lovely bouquet. My students inspire me with their kindness, compassion, and creativity, reminding me daily why I became a teacher. This recognition is a wonderful example of how we all influence and uplift each other’s lives. Here’s wishing all the incredible educators around the world a very happy World Teacher’s Day!”
“My journey at TWS began in 2009, and from the very start, I felt a strong connection with everyone here. It’s been more than just a workplace—it’s felt like a family where we all navigate through life’s ups and downs together.” Binish Rizwan, a teacher at GEMS The Westminster School – Dubai (TWS), said. “The most wonderful part of the school is the students and their boundless enthusiasm. Each morning, the bright smiles on their faces have been the highlight of my day – it’s what has made every day special for me!”
Tamzin Rohlandt, a teacher at GEMS World Academy – Dubai, said: “Teaching is a journey of guiding minds and shaping futures, not just a profession. This World Teachers' Day, let's honour the daily contributions we make to ignite students’ curiosity, foster their dreams, and equip the next generation of leaders.”

Teachers’ Day is a significant occasion to recognize the vital role educators play in shaping the future. It offers an opportunity for communities to express gratitude and appreciation for teachers' dedication, creativity, and tireless efforts in moulding young minds.
