Liz Clowes (née Kudelasz, previously Liz Taylor)
My parents were both Hungarian refugees, the one fleeing the Jewish pogrom in 1939 and the other fleeing Russian persecution in 1956. I was brought up in a mêlée of language, music, food, multiple visitors and general craziness. So I fled the ship at 18 and settled on a life of calm hard work in the insurance industry becoming one of the foremost Risk Management practitioners of my age, after chairing the national association AIRMIC at the age of 34 as the first female on the Board.

I'm a storyteller, author and an affiliate trainer at Norwich Institute for Language Education (NILE) in the UK. I have worked with educators in more than 40 countries worldwide and first became aware of the Hands Up Project during a trip to the West Bank in Palestine. I am deeply honoured to serve as a trustee for this transformative charity.
Originally from Scotland, I studied biochemistry at Aberdeen University before following my passion for music at Leeds College of Music. Now based in Barcelona, I spend my time creating story-based courses and resources for teachers at my website LessonStream.
