Diler is interested in psychology, economy and law. An Iraqi refugee, Diler and his school leader started various initiatives to make school life easier for people with migration backgrounds. When he was 11 years old, he brought together youth speaking multiple languages to help those who had to flee during the mass exodus from Iraq in 2015 by translating for them. For his Rise project, he built a prototype hut that could be used to host homeless people at a very low cost.
