Palestinian refugee from Syria Mohammed Ali received the first prize at the Dutch language competition for 2018 beating 36 others contestants.
Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands handed over the prizes to the winners who also received a sum of 2500 Euros to boost language-acquisition initiatives.
Sponsors of the event said the move comes to pay tribute to those who have been active in language-acquisition projects in the Netherlands.
Ali landed in the Netherlands some four years ago fleeing war-torn Syria. Upon his arrival he started to learn the Dutch language at local institutions. Ali worked as a language volunteer helping other migrants learn Dutch.
Several Palestinian refugees have achieved success stories in European countries for which they headed in the hunt for a safer shelter and a better future.
