Impact Report 2018 StreetwiZe • Mobile School

2018
ANNUAL REPORT

FOREWORD
Purpose or meaning exists when people have legitimate goalsand when they feel personally
empowered to have impact regarding those goals. Goals they consider righteous,
important and valuable. Goals that fit within their set of values and beliefs.
Finding purpose comes with having a clear sense of self: the way a person thinks about
and views his or her traits, beliefs and purpose in the world. Being conscious about who
we are, what values we treasure and what we stand for is key.
In today’s rapidly changing and challenging society with tremendous amounts of opportunities
and threats, we should strive for that solid foundation of sense of self within our
teams. It brings stability and certainty in an uncertain context. It generates engagement
and develops an inner climate that nourishes entrepreneurship and innovation.
I am very grateful to work with colleagues who embody these concepts. Scaling our
impact together is a continuous balancing act in which self-reflection and discussion are
important ingredients. I want to take this opportunity to express my most sincere gratitude
to my colleagues. They are the ones that make it happen, being their authentic
selves, pushing projects, challenging strategies and creating opportunities.
I’m blessed to work with these fantastic people and hope we can continue our journey to
further explore new strategies to build a sustainable future for people, organisations and
society.
While flicking through our annual report, I hope you’ll enjoy some of the great stuff our
team realised together with many other important stakeholders.
Best regards,
Arnoud Raskin

ABOUT US
Mission and values Mobile School Group
mobile school group undertakes actions, starting from the strengths of street-connected children, to improve the
sustainable development of individuals, organisations and society.
Mobile School NPO is a Belgian organisation
dedicated to empowering autonomous organisations
working with street-connected children
throughout the world. We develop mobile school
carts and educational materials and train local
street workers to increase their efficiency and impact.
The main objective of the Mobile School methodology
is to discover and unlock the talents of
street-connected children so they can regain a positive
self-image and can start to make conscious
decisions about their own future. Presently there
are 54 mobile schools in 28 countries, spread
across four continents: Latin America, Asia, Africa
and Europe.
StreetwiZe is a talent development company. Inspired
by the many extraordinary youngsters Mobile
School works with, StreetwiZe has developed its
impact-driven approach to talent and leadership
growth. We have decoded street savviness to answer
learning demands in a business context. With an
authentic story and our unique approach, we inspire
people to look differently at themselves and the
world. We invite them to reimagine their personal
role in their organisation and their chances and opportunities
to make a difference. StreetwiZe invests
100% of its profit in Mobile School, co-creates the
educational materials and relentlessly supports
Mobile School to increase its social impact.
StreetSmart is the new TECH4GOOD start-up of
the social enterprise StreetwiZe • Mobile School.
StreetSmart Impact, a mobile application designed
to facilitate case management, reporting and
impact measurement, helps outreach and youth
work organisations to raise the efficiency and the
impact of their work.
The use of the app will enable these organisations
to increase the quality of their data reporting.
Consequently it will be easier to make their voices
heard and to convince society to gear up investments
in youth.

In all our initiatives we want to at least inspire people,
but strive to activate and even engage people. We
work on the development of competences as a
means and opportunity to increase sustainable development.

Flexpoint • an innovative work organisation

Flexpoint
Leadership & Employees
Hasselt / Belgium
As a fast-growing recruiting agency, Flexpoint
faced the challenge to keep alive its specific
spirit of a small and dynamic organisation,
without becoming a hurdle for growth. In order
to do so, they chose the concept of “Innovative
Work Organisation” as a theoretical framework
to start from.
StreetwiZe’ task was to bring this concept to live
within the organisation, taking into account the
specific context and challenges Flexpoint was
faced with. In order to translate the theoretical
concept into the Flexpoint-reality, we kicked
off with an alignment session with the management
team (8 people). During two days we
discussed what the concept implied for the
organisation, for them as a management team,
and for their employees. We focused both on
what was not the problem when it came to
being an innovative work organisation, and
on the main challenges in order to become
one. This alignment session led to some
concrete ambitions (related to culture, mindset
and behaviour) on an organisational level, for
management and for employees.
look at Flexpoint’s ambitions with a StreetwiZe
mindset. Between workshops, separate teams
were triggered to adapt the content to their own
reality with some reflection questions, related to
the workshop they had just finished.
In addition, we organised a second two-day
offsite with the management team. During
these two days, we focused on the development
of more common leadership capabilities
such as communication, situational leadership
and feedback.
IMPACT

Moore Stephens • flex ‘up
01/09/2017 • 31/12/2018
Bart Vanbellinghen
Moore Stephens
Flanders / Belgium
Flex ‘Up is a strategic initiative at Moore
Stephens Belgium, which structurally implements
‘flexwork’ (activity based working, independent
of the geographical place) throughout
the organisation. The goal is to add value
for several stakeholders: employees, clients,
the organisation and society.
Flex ‘up is split up in three aspects: Team ‘Up
(behavioural component of working and collaborating
in the new situation), Move ‘Up
(adjustment of working environment and/or
move to new buildings) and Tech ‘Up (implementation
of supporting IT Tools).
After a first training programme with StreetwiZe,
Moore Stephens consciously picked
StreetwiZe again as a partner, to guide managers
and teams in this change. This way, the
street skills and -techniques could be applied
in the context of a ‘real life’ change, giving the
learning experience an extra dimension.
Executives were guided in forming a closer
and aligned team to both lead the change,
and communicate on it. During the kick-off
sessions, employees were informed and
directly involved in the project, including
identification and ownership on specific
actions.
During team sessions (Let’s get things done!)
they made operational arrangements, both individually
and as a team, in which client service is
key.
In the last phase, and after finalising the programme,
we organised a closure with an evaluation
focusing on team dynamics (Let’s make
things fun!).
To date, the two highest impact projects have
been finalised, because next to Flexworking,
these teams actually moved to new locations,
designed based on the principles of activity
based working, independent of the geographical
place. The programme aimed at strongly
involving the teams in the project and, besides
the implementation of the change itself, let the
teams grow (content wise: finetune processes,
share best practices, be one team and socially:
personal connection, social space,…).
The projects ‘Denderend’ (region Dender) and
‘Waaszinnig’ (region Waasland) have been successfully
finalised. Other programmes have started
up throughout the organisation.
IMPACT
Alignment of managers on a crystal clear goal
Co-creation with and involvement of employees
Explicit team arrangements and feedback culture
Successful change (move+ flexwork + one team)

Research on case management in youth work

Erasmus+ KA2
Leuven / Belgium
Mobile School NPO is participating in an Erasmus+
Programme. This programme includes 3
intellectual outputs. The first one is a research
report regarding case management in youth
work. The report should help youth workers to
evaluate and improve their own activities and
their own case management. All the partners
from this programme were involved. CME,
ARSIS and PRAKSIS helped with some research,
but mostly with spreading questionnaires
and with translations. Mobile
School NPO was in charge of creating
the report. We had an intern (Master Degree
Educational Sciences) who supported
us in this process.
The five main research questions in the report
were the following:
1. How is case management perceived in
street – and youth work?
2. Which (mobile) case management tools
already exist worldwide?
3. Which indicators are useful in assessing
impact in non-formal youth work activities?
4. How can the indicators ‘non-formal education’
and ‘personal development be included
in the measurement?
5. How can the data of children and youngsters
be protected?
To investigate these questions, we chose to work
with a questionnaire and literature research. The
questionnaire was answered by 121 respondents
from in- and outside our own network.
By combining the results of the questionnaire
with literature review, we were able to formulate
recommendations on case management within
youth and street work.
Youth and street workers clearly understand
the importance and the need for effective case
management. The need for a tool that can support
them in their job is apparent. This tool is preferably
a mobile application. We will have to make
sure that the application is user-friendly. It must
be possible to enter data quickly and efficiently.
Next to the current indicators youth – and street
workers keep track of, educational indicators
are also important to them. Through our research,
we defined a theoretical frame of four concepts
linked to self-esteem and personal development,
which are easy to measure through observation
and conversation: goal tracking, defining
talents, social mapping and mood and
behaviour. Finally, the role of privacy and data
protection is really big. The GDPR regulation
was taken as the standard to follow, as this is the
strictest regulation yet on data protection.

AG Insurance • sales teams two days

Eric Vanbiervliet
AG Insurance
Houffalize / Belgium
To assure the commercial growth of the company
in times of change and disruption, AG
Insurance asked us to develop a programme
for the sales teams of the Life and Non-Life
branch.
Aspects like rapid digitalisation and continuous
evolution of client needs generate important
challenges for these teams.
StreetwiZe developed a two-day residential
programme, built on 3 pillars:
1. Reflection: As a team, think about importants
market shifts and their impact within
organisation and team.
2. Action: Work on an action-focused attitude
and on ownership, to be able to face current
and future changes and challenges.
3. Teambuilding: An additional opportunity
of a residential programme in the
Ardennes for employees who are often on
the road, was being able to connect with
colleagues.
In the evening, the participants prepared their
own dinner. Surprisingly connecting and delicious!
During the second day, we looked at the functioning
of the team from the perspective of Cooperative
Competition. We searched for opportunities
in collaboration between individuals who, by the
nature of their jobs, are more often stand-alone
than team-oriented. We also defined some important
themes and action points to perpetuate
the success of the teams.
IMPACT
Reflection on challenges/opportunities on different levels
Reflection: How to stay relevant in a given context?
Stimulate self-leadership: What can I do?
To map organisational challenges and opportunities,
we mainly worked on Positive
Common goals for stronger teams
Focus during the first day. Taking it from there,
Stimulate connection
we discussed the type of self-leadership we
strongly believe in at StreetwiZe, based on
inspirational ‘outperformers’ in the streets:

Stella Maris
Merksem / Belgium
Stella Maris & Sint-Elisabeth are two schools
located in Antwerp, that offer TSO and BSO
degrees. They set the ambition to improve
the relationship between staff (teachers and
support) on the one hand, and students and
their context on the other. The student population
is very diverse, the distance between
the living environment of staff and students
seems to be growing which leads to misunderstandings
in class rooms and tension in the
relations. Stella Maris aims to improve the mutual
relationship, wants to re-become a school
both teachers and students love to be part of
and contacted us for support. In total, Stella
Maris and StreetwiZe will collaborate for three
years on the above mentioned topics. The first
year - during which we worked on alignment
amongst the staff - just finished.
We kicked off in October, with a keynote from
Arnoud and a reflection with the complete
staff on the current situation in the school. We
asked them how they perceive the situation
on two levels: what they actually like about
the school today, and the main challenges
they see. On top, we asked them what they
propose to improve the situation. One of the
outcomes of this first high-level reflection was
that there is a lot of goodwill within the staff
team, but the ideas on how to improve the
situation, were extremely diverse. Since we
believe that impact comes from aligned action, we
proposed to set up a staff-ambassador team
(25p) that would reflect on that aligned vision
spread over three different days: what kind of
school do we want to be, what expectation does
this imply towards personnel, towards students
and towards the management of the school,
what actions can we undertake in order to start
growing towards those goals and how can we
communicate (storytelling and pitching) this
new vision towards the different stakeholders
within the school. Thanks to this approach, year
1 ended with a clear vision on the school-to-be,
a high level set-up on how to start working on
this and a means to communicate the new vision
towards staff and students.
In year 2 and 3, we will work on the opportunity
to bring this new vision alive together with staff
and students.
IMPACT
Participants: Keynote 80p, Reflection 80p, Alignment: 3 x 25p

Launch beta version
Leuven / Belgium
During the summer of 2018, the minimum viable
product (MVP) of StreetSmart was ready
for the first release, the alpha version. The alpha
version was made available only for internal
testing and for testing at our partners. The
goal of this step was to make StreetSmart ready
for the public launch, the beta version.
StreetSmart is a tool to support street and
youth workers around the world in their work.
StreetSmart allows them to improve their activity
reporting, case management and most importantly,
to monitor the self-esteem evolution
of the children they’re working with.
StreetSmart has been developed by Mobile
School with the indispensable support of Share.
IT and the Erasmus+ programme. Through Accenture
Paris, Share.IT provided over 200 days
of their IT development team to code the application.
The Erasmus+ programme, on the other
hand, allowed us to involve 3 Mobile School
partners in Poland and Greece, who supported
us with the user testing, feedback, setting up
the user requirements and with the further
investigation of the user needs in a research
report.
In the last months, together with the developers
of Accenture, the StreetSmart application
was debugged and the last developments were
finished. Next to the technical work, all legal documents
were prepared. Finally, the first commercial
and user support videos and documents are
ready to support our partners as well as possible.
Almost set for the real launch...

Standardised production
mobile schools
Munsterbilzen / Belgium
Since the start of Mobile School, the production
of the mobile schools is centralised and
executed by the Provinciale Secundaire School
Bilzen (PSSB).
In 2016-2017, a new design of the mobile
school was developed and the first prototype
was sent to Patras in Greece in November
2016. Since then, some changes have been
made based on feedback from the field.
Sara Orozco, a Colombian student of Product
Design did her internship at Mobile School
in 2017 and started with the development of
assembly manuals for all the parts of the
mobile school, in cooperation with the teachers
of the PSSB. The idea was to create an IKEAlike
guideline for the production of the mobile
school.

Davidsfonds
Flanders / Belgium
With more than 40.000 members, Davidsfonds
organises ten thousands of cultural activities
with love for history, heritage, language
and art in Flanders and Brussels every year.
Despite their relatively high number of
members, Davidsfonds felt a strong decline in
their members throughout the years (in 2000
they had +/- 80.000 members) and in the long
run they even feared for their existence because
of the litteral ‘extinction’ of their organisation
(high average age and a lack of rejuvenation).
That is why, as a socio-cultural network they rang
the alarmbel and wanted to start a new era of
innovation across the entire network.
StreetwiZe guided this process of alignment
and co-creation and tried to give every stakeholder
an opportunity for participation and a
voice in this ambitious project.
Ambassadors were trained to represent the new
mission through 20 anchoring days spread
across Flanders and Brussels. An ambitious project
that led to a new mission and vision co-created
with hundreds of volunteers.
The next step is combining all the input of the
widespread volunteers into the ‘inspiratiewijzer’
(‘inspiration pointer’) and creating an attractive
internal and external communication strategy .
Davidsfonds is on the road for 2025!
IMPACT
Creation of co-ownership with the volunteers
We started in October 2017 with an inspiring
keynote by Arnoud which was the starting point
of a trajectory that will run for over a year. After
this keynote it was time to put the Davidsfonds
employees, board members and volunteers
at work. We created a new mission and vision
with a steering committee that captured ideas
and concerns among the members, based on
hundreds of conversations.

Mobile School partners
Leuven / Belgium
Up until now, partners only sent us a quantitative
evaluation: the number of street sessions
they organised with the mobile school and the
number of children participating during those
sessions. Since not only the amount of children
reached defines the social impact our partners
are having on the streets, we drew up a social
impact scorecard, to register the quality of the
organised street sessions as well.
Based on 20 years of experience on the streets
and on research with our partners, Mobile
School defined six criteria we believe are
important to having a lasting sustainable
impact on the streets: structure & environment,
self-evaluation, didactics, counseling
skills, motivation and creativity.
At the end of the year, all partners rate themselves
on these criteria during an evaluating
meeting with the entire Mobile School team.
In addition, they write an explanation of the
scores given and formulate concrete actions
Mobile School, the Mobile School network and
their local Mobile School team can take to increase
their impact score on that particular criterion
in the future.
The Mobile School Partnership Coordinators
rate the partners on the same criteria, based on
the information gathered during evaluations,
Skype calls, expeditions and visits.
Afterwards, a Skype meeting is planned to compare
the scores given by the local team and by
the Partnership Coordinator. Possible differences
are discussed and at the end of the Skype call, a
final score is agreed upon for each criterion.
An animated how-to video was made and sent to
all partners to explain the new procedure.
This new way of measuring impact was evaluated
positively by both the partner organisations
as the Mobile School team, since the impact
scorecard allows for a more elaborate discussion
of certain aspects of the work with the mobile
school.
As of next year, we will send a Certificate of Quality
to all our partners as well: a visualisation
of their quality score and the evolution of their
quality scores over the years, in comparison to
the average quality scores of all Mobile School
partners. Partners will be able to see how their
criteria scores evolve over the years and which
actions they can/should undertake to increase
them.

When StreetwiZe was founded in 2008, Vlerick
Business School became one of our first regular
clients convinced of the added value that
StreetwiZe could bring in their in-company
and open leadership programmes. This cooperation
evolved over the years from StreetwiZe
being an external supplier that was offering
ad hoc trainings on Pitching, Storytelling and
Creativity to being an integrated partner that
co-designs tailored offerings.
In 2018, Vlerick Business School remained one
of our biggest partners supporting a significant
amount of our social impact on street youth.
More than 200 young managers, owners and
experienced business leaders got StreetwiZed
in 2018.
We facilitated workshops on Positive Focus,
Connect and on Agility & Resilience for both customised
clients (like Enza, Rabobank, NN, Eandis,
AGC, …) and for open programmes. We sat
around the table to brainstorm and co-design
some new content regarding specific business
questions and we delivered several inspirational
keynotes on social entrepreneurship and our
unique business model in some of the customised
programmes.

Part of growing as an organisation, in numbers
as well as in maturity, means professionalising
your back office.
The challenge for us is to do this while keeping
administration to a minimum and - by all
means - without upsetting our customers.
We optimised sales and after sales processes:
we centralised administration, streamlined
internally while keeping it all lean. The backoffice
now produces all work orders and carefully
follows up until signature. Our customers
receive a summary of all evaluations and a
wrap-up of the session to share with the participants.
In 2018 we also set out the goal to create a new
Salesforce environment. The old environment
needed such a large ‘make-over’ and clean-up
that we decided to start an entirely new one.
Another improvement was the creation of an onboarding
document for new StreetwiZe trainers.
Among other things it contains a ‘who is who’
and a step-by-step plan to guide new trainers
from gradually immersing themselves in the
workshop content to eventually performing
workshops by themselves.

During a StreetwiZe session we inspire people,
inform them about the essence of a street skill
or technique and explore the concrete application
of that skill or technique in their work

business or organisational challenge. We
use the street as a metaphor to reflect on this
challenge, change perception and eventually
guide participants towards action plans and

Since September last year, Mobile School
NPO is the leading partner in an Erasmus+
programme on case management for non-formal
education in youth work. Together with
partner organisations CME GPU-UNO (Poland
- Robert Cieslar), ARSIS and PRAKSIS (Greece
- Alberto Perez and Eirini Karanikola), Mobile
School is developing a digital tool for personal
case management within youth work
in non-formal education. Therefore, we chose
to apply for the Erasmus+ programme and
started a KA2 project: Strategic partnerships
supporting innovation. Being able to partner
with organisations with different expertise is
a necessary condition for developing this tool.
Cooperation with relevant partners and youth
work initiatives help define the user’s needs,
assess the user-friendliness and disseminate
this project. Within this programme, the EU
encourages programme countries to share their
experiences in transnational project meetings.
At the end of January, we organised the second
transnational project meeting in Thessaloniki.
The first one took place in Leuven in October
2017.
The meeting started with a short update on
the first intellectual output, the research report
on case management within youth- and street
work.
The main focus of the transnational project
meeting was the update on the current screens
we had for the mobile application, SYD (working
title - Street Youth Development). As it was the
first time our partners saw these screens, it was
important to get their feedback. Afterwards the
main goal was to prioritise all our needs and
wants. This way our developers from Accenture
(via Share.IT - French Tech4 Good Partner) could
start developing. A lot of conversations and discussions
were held, but it was all very insightful.
Some of the methodologies we were thinking of
using within the mobile application, were also
tested in a rudimentary way (on paper, with Google
Forms…) during a street intervention with
PRAKSIS. Not only the mobile school coordinator
of PRAKSIS did this, but also her volunteers and
they were all really enthusiastic.
To finish this transnational project meeting, the
Greek partners invited their testing hub partners.
These organisations are willing to help test SYD
when we have a first version. We organised an
afternoon during which we presented our organisation
and the SYD application.

In February, the Mobile School team initiated
a project to redesign the mathematical panels
offered to partner organisations worldwide.
Thanks to the efforts of our Greek intern
Anastasia Panitsa, a thorough evaluation of the
mathematical panels was conducted. Anastasia
worked with the mobile school of PRAKSIS in
Patras, Greece and did a three-month internship
at the Mobile School office in Belgium. After
doing a survey with the Mobile School partners,
Anastasia shared her recommendations
to redesign the Mobile School mathematical
package in a report.
At the same time, the redesign of the mathematical
offer is also a solid starting point for the redesign
of the entire educational package. The team
already started the revision of the coding system,
and in the coming months these changes will be
implemented in the partnership strategy.
Leuven / Belgium
During the summer, the Mobile School team
and Saskia Dieleman finetuned these recommendations
in order to start the redesign
process of the new mathematical package. The
main objective of the new package is to offer
more attractive panels that are adapted to the
daily reality of street-connected children, since
the most important feedback of partners was
that a lot of the orange panels were not often
played by the kids on the streets because they
were too abstract. Moreover, the new package

Leuven / Belgium
Mobile School Café is the perfect informal way
to bring the team and our volunteers together.
We transform the StreetwiZe • Mobile School
office into a pub. A cosy place where you come
and go as you please. Where volunteers can
chat and catch up with each other or with the
team.
There are different tables, each with its own
theme, and you can go and join your preferred
table/theme. As a volunteer, you can guide
the conversation by asking specific questions
about things you’d like to know. What would
you like to know about, for example, the new
StreetwiZe colleagues, the challenges our
digital story comes with or what about the next
campaign?
Conversations are informal like they are in any
pub: spontaneous and authentic.
For our organisation it is of utmost importance
not to spread all information to our volunteers
by means of presentations. When looking for
a creative way to spread information, we came
up with the idea of the Mobile School Café. As
a visitor in the Café you can decide what you’ll
learn and what you’d like to know more about.
Every Café comes with a wide variety of tables
with different themes. There are, however, always
tables available for volunteers to talk about
specific street contexts. Experience taught us a
lot of volunteers feel the need to get in touch
with the street context and our target audience.
This doesn’t only help them in their work
as a volunteer, but they also feel involved. Volunteers
have to know why and for whom they
engage themselves. Evenings like the Mobile
School café contribute to a good understanding
between volunteers and the organisation.
‘Mobile School Café for me means looking
through the eyes of street workers (trainers) and
meet the kids through them. It gives an energy
boost and I always go home happily knowing

In order to scale our impact on the streets,
Mobile School is developing two digital tools

Besides the case management application,
StreetSmart, Mobile School is developing an
online content library where street educators
can find inspiration to create new games to
use during their outreach interventions on the
streets.
The first version of the Mobile School Playground
was launched in February 2018 for Mobile
School partners. In May, the Mobile School
prospects - organisations that are not (yet)
working with the mobile school but are part
of the network - were given access to try out
the MS Playground as well. The platform created
through the popular web-development
platform WIX contains 60 ‘inspiration’ games
at the moment. For all of these games a manual
file and pictures are available so that street
educators can easily reproduce the games and
adapt the game concepts to their local context
and needs. Some of the games also have
a video explanation. The inspirational game
concepts are collected during StreetwiZe expeditions,
Mobile School exchange programmes
or through the Mobile School partner projects.

educational volunteers and are offered to partners
as a ready-to-print game concept including
a how-to-play manual, pictures, a how-to-make
explanation and graphical files so that partners
can just print the game locally before attaching
it to their mobile school. Next year, this temporary
WIX-platform will function as an inspiration
to build a state-of-the-art digital content platform

Rob Sweldens
Once a Mobile School partner receives a
mobile school, they become responsible for its
maintenance. Through the years, similar problems
from partners in different countries were
reported to us. Often these solutions required
a better understanding of the specific technical
design of the mobile school.
Thanks to the manual, street educators or local
mechanics can get a better understanding of
how the mobile school has been designed and
of which parts can or must be replaced.
Production schools
Munsterbilzen / Belgium
Therefore we decided to develop a standardised
repair manual for street educators
with responses on the most frequently asked
technical questions:
• How to open & close the mobile school?
• How to change the brakes and braking
cable?
• How to change the wheels?
• How to do maintenance inside the boxes?
• How to create the point & grid frames on
the panels?
• How to change the pegs?
Sara Orozco, a Colombian student of Product
Design, developed this repair manual in cooperation
with the Mobile School staff and the
teachers of the Provinciale Secundaire School

The mobile school project in La Paz was started

first, but lost priority within the organisation
over the course of the years.
Currently, COMPA La Paz is very unstable due to
lack of funding. Consequently, there is no funding
to coordinate the mobile school project
either, which is why the project is run by
German volunteers of the organisation Weltweite

for a year and then train their successors to
take over their projects.
Although the previous group of volunteers
followed the Mobile School summer training
in Belgium, it was clear that there had been
practically no knowledge transfer, since the
volunteers did not know how to work with the

was mostly used to create the space to play
with the children, but was hardly ever actively
used during the outreach sessions.

IPTK - Cerpi
Sucre / Bolivia
In Sucre, there is a lot of poverty. That’s why
many children and youngsters work on the
streets in different sectors (e.g. assisting carpenters,
washing busses, selling ice creams,...)
to contribute to the family income.
The children too young to work are often left to
their own devices. Their parents either work in
the city or in the countryside and aren’t home
a lot. The children are held responsible for all
household chores and for taking care of their
brothers and sisters. Because their parents are
hardly ever around, they lack adult rolemodels
and a positive outlet.
That is what the mobile school team tries to
offer them during the outreach sessions. By
playing games, the children and youngsters
get a chance to take their mind off their chores
for a while and to discover and develop their
talents.
In addition, the team organises creative workshops
to discuss important topics, such as
children’s rights, puberty and sexuality (still a
taboo in Bolivia).
Although there is a high turnover of volunteers,
the local coordinator, Gladys Fuentes, has been
running the project since the beginning and
she is the driving force behind the project.
During the follow-up visit, we joined the team
on the streets for two sessions and we gave an
introduction workshop about Mobile School
and our philosophy for the new volunteers.
In addition, we organised two coaching sessions:
a self-evaluation of the mobile school
project after 13 years (analysis of strengths &
weaknesses) and a coaching session during
which we actively worked with the educational
materials the team has hardly ever used on the
streets, to guarantee the optimal and creative
use of all panels.

Cochabamba / Bolivia
In March, a new potential partnership was
explored with Fundación Abriendo Puertas Paz
y Bien in Cochabamba, the third largest city in
Bolivia. The organisation was founded three
years ago and last year, they started up a successful
cooperation with Teatro Hecho a Mano, a
local theater group. In theory, they are two separate
entities, but in practice they function as
one organisation. A part of the proceeds of the
theater go to Fundación Abriendo Puertas Paz
y Bien and in return, the theater group can use
the building of the foundation, so both organisations
can split the operational costs and
are largely self-sustainable.
Currently, two outreach sessions are organised
each week at the local cemetery. A lot of youngsters
work there (cleaning tomb stones or praying/singing
to the deceased) to contribute to
the family income. The focus of the local team
is on prevention: preventing these youngsters
from crossing the line between working on the
streets to living on the streets.
During the outreach sessions, the team hands
out breakfast to the youngsters. They also tell
interactive stories, which captivate the children
and spark their imagination. The experience
in theater and clownery of the majority of the
team is a big added value to the street sessions.
In addition, the team has experience in giving
workshops on sexual education in schools, so
they will be able to discuss this very important
topic creatively during mobile school sessions as
well.
After a successful exploration, Fundación Abriendo
Puertas Paz y Bien will start up their mobile
school project in July. The local team shares
Mobile School’s vision on outreach work and
they are very motivated to implement our tool
during their street work activities. They have a
storage space at the cemetery, so no transport is
needed, and they are authorised to work on the
cemetery by the municipality. To safeguard the
collaboration, the team actively involves the municipality
employees in their activities.
In the future, the team wants to run a centre as
well where youngsters can attend workshops
and where they can spend the night if necessary.
Fundación Abriendo Puertas Paz y Bien will work
with the mobile school of former partner Yo Voy

transfer all materials and to repair the school
before the implementation training.

After a successful exploratory visit in June
2017, Child Rescue Kenya and Mobile School
made the joint decision to implement a mobile
school in Kitale in 2018. Despite the relatively
small population of the north-western Kenyan
town, Kitale is one of the major hotspots for
street-connected children in the region. Strategically
located near the Ugandan border and
the Kenyan counties of West-Pokot and Turkana,
the town functions as an important transit
point for both street children and refugees. The
history of CRK goes back till 1988 and since
then the organisation is a major actor in the
field of street kids. Besides street work, the
organisation runs two centres and a learning
programme called Street Smart near the center
of town.

future, CRK aims to invest more financial resources

Janet as a co-facilitator, the street workers were
able to get a clear insight into how the mobile

which was really helpful during the first interventions
on the street.
IMPACT
The mobile school activities have shown to
be an impactful extension of the Street Smart
programme. During the implementation trainings,
the team tested out different locations
near the old railway line in the centre of town.
Furthermore, they also plan to target the
dumpsite which is located further away from
the centre. A first session proved there is a huge
target group. During the first interventions, the
organisation reached a lot of older youth (15+)

Cochabamba / Bolivia
Our three Bolivian partner organisations -
COMPA Teatro Trono Cochabamba, COMPA Teatro
Trono El Alto and IPTK-Cerpi - have all been
working with the mobile school for more than
10 years. Since the last Bolivian Mobile School
exchange was organised in 2007 and all partners
indicated they would benefit from another
Mobile School training, we decided to bring
them together again.
The exchange was organised in Cochabamba,
so the entire team of COMPA Cochabamba
(nine street educators) could participate. We
invited two street educators from Sucre and El
Alto.
The street educators got to know each other
during a speeddate and exchanged their best
experiences with the mobile school. Then, they
sat down together to reflect on common local
challenges during the work with the mobile
school and on possible solutions for those
challenges. Mobile School’s new way to measure
social impact was discussed and the three
partner organisations looked at their social
impact and on how to possibly increase it in
the future. During the workshop on creativity,
three new board games were created, adapted
to the local context, about Bolivian geography
and culture and about recycling. These games
were tested out on the streets during a mobile
school session organised by the team of
COMPA Cochabamba and were evaluated
positively by their target group. All partners also
received new Mobile School panels. They played
and invented new games with the panels, which
will enable them to use the new panels during
future outreach sessions.
During the exchange, the street educators of our
different partner organisations really bonded.
They were reenergised by knowing that two other
teams were doing the same work and facing the
same challenges. They already created a Facebook
group to keep each other updated on the
work with the mobile school and to be able to
exchange best experiences, challenges and possible
solutions in the future as well.
We are convinced the exchange will increase
future collaborations between our different partner
organisations.

PRAKSIS Patras
Patras / Greece
Our local partner PRAKSIS has been working
with the mobile school in the city and surroundings
of Patras since November 2016. Patras is
a port city and is seen as an exit point for refugees
who want to travel to Italy illegally, hiding
under trucks and in boats. PRAKSIS runs a
drop-in centre for refugees and an accomodation
centre for unaccompanied minors.
With the mobile school they have been reaching
out to unaccompanied minors and refugees in
abandoned factories around the port and did a
series of interventions in hotels at the seaside
where Syrian refugees were waiting for relocation.
Mobile School activities focus on
stress relief, trust building and especially on
building a connection point to inform refugees
and minors about their rights and about the
possibilities offered in the drop-in centre.
During the follow-up expedition, our trainers
gave workshops on counseling skills, the
Street Business Toolkit and during the creativity
workshop the trainees developed 3 new activities
which they will use in their daily activities.
During the coaching workshops, the local team
also assessed their strengths and challenges and
got extra information about educational panels
which weren’t clear for them. We gave a short
introduction on the general philosophy of
Mobile School and StreetwiZe and explained
the possiblities of “StreetSmart”, our case management
tool which is in development at the
moment.
The project has shown a big evolution since the

Glad’s House
Mombasa / Kenya
Since July 2016, our local partner Glad’s House
is doing educational interventions with the
mobile school in the Kenyan coastal city of
Mombasa. The organisation focuses on different
locations in the city to reach street-connected
youngsters: the city centre around Makadara
and Maboxini, the dumpsite Kibarani and
the Remand Home in Likoni were a lot of the
street-connected children are referred to if they
are rounded up by the police. Police violence
is still a very big issue on the Kenyan streets.
By using the mobile school, the organisation
wants to strengthen their relationship of trust
with the target group and aims to offer educational
opportunities to a target group that has
limited or no access to any kind of education.
During the follow-up expedition, our trainers
gave some coaching workshops to discuss the
successes and challenges the local team faces
on the streets. Since the training was combined
with the implementation of the new
mobile school in Kitale, the team also received
some new panels which were trained and tested
immediately on the streets of Mombasa.
Despite some financial challenges, the organisation
is still extremely motivated to reach out
to street-connected children with the mobile
school.
The core team of the mobile school was already
in place during the exploration back in 2015,
which creates a great continuity within the project.
In the past, they have shown they are also
great ambassadors for Mobile School by spreading
the word through the StreetInvest network.

The purpose of the ‘SOHO! day’ is to inspire
professionals in the field of education, focusing
on the entrepreneurial skills of students. It
is a yearly convention where hundreds of professionals
come together to be inspired.
Together with a workgroup of Flemish universities,
StreetwiZe developed, a surprising
and out-of-the-box experience. Our trainers
hacked the principal hallway of LAMOT and
proposed some playful and non-formal
learning opportunities.
The hall was divided into four zones, every
zone represented a street skill and was marked
in space with scenographical elements.
The attendees of the SOHO! day were invited
to;
• take a sneak peek in the feedback corner
with our very own feedback-Fons,
• start a surprising conversation with a
random stranger in the coffee corner,
• fail hard at the speakers corner,
• do a guerilla graffiti on the windows of the
building.
In a nutshell: a fun programme with a naughty

Fundacja Ukryte Skrzydla
Krakau / Poland
The mobile school project in Krakow, Poland
was started up in 2008. The project has had
its ups and downs over the course of the
years, but due to recent positive changes, the
impact of their local mobile school project and
its susainability have increased considerably.
In 2016, a project application submitted by
Fundacja Ukryte Skrzydla was approved by the
City of Krakau, giving them resources for three
years to organise five street sessions per week
with paid street educators. The team works in 5
different sectors. In Krakau, low-income families
(Polish and Roma families) are housed in
apartment blocks built in the communist era,
which are referred to as “social ghettos”. Many
families struggle with drug and alcohol abuse
and unwanted pregnancies. The mobile school
team works with the children living in these
“ghettos”.
Before the mobile school interventions, many
children were aggressive - due to the lack of a
positive outlet - and lacked social skills. During
the outreach sessions, the team encourages
the children, builds up their confidence and
teaches them to play together and follow the
rules. The street educators have noticed a lot of
positive improvements in the behaviour of the
children over the years.
With the mobile school, the team also tries to
bridge the gap between the children’s neighbourhoods
and the school. Although the children
have the possibility to go to school, they often
skip classes. Due to their low self-esteem, they
don’t have a sense of belonging. Consequently,
they act out a lot and are often expelled. Again,
the team has noticed improvements thanks to
their outreach work.
The team requested a Mobile School training,
because 12 new volunteers were joining them.
Usually, new volunteers are trained by the team
itself, but since they received funds to finance
the training, they applied for a Mobile School
training instead. During the three-day follow-up,
the new volunteers participated in the general
presentation of the Mobile School vision and
methodology and learned how to drive and
maintain the mobile school during the technical
workshop. In addition, they actively played and
invented games with the educational materials
and followed the workshop on self-esteem. All
new volunteers were extremely motivated to
start working with the mobile school.

L&D AG Insurance
The goal of AG Insurance’s Trainee Programme
is to enable its trainees to further develop
some essential skills, as part of an onboarding
process.
Working on ‘self-awareness’ is a first important
theme. Trainees are expected to quickly and
autonomously generate added value within
diverse environments, which requires a solid
knowledge of your own functioning, and that
of others. AG Insurance wants to offer its trainees
basic knowledge of project management
and empower them in the fields of presenting,
convincing and influencing.
The second session on Project Management focused
on the different phases and key elements
of a successful project. With help of a professional
actor we specifically practised typical challenges
for project leaders.
During the ‘Pitching’ session, the participants
learned how to present their project in an
efficient though enthusiastic manner. They also
defined which resources they have to direct their
audience towards the right (re)action. ‘Storytelling’
helped the trainees to discover the
added value of a strong story in such a context.
Brussels / Belgium
A parallel objective of the project is to stimulate
connection between trainees and to create
a community in which people continuously
learn from each other in an informal setting.
Throughout the programme, participants are
asked to work on a concrete project. That creates
tangible learning environments, but it is
also an added value for the organisation, to be
challenged by the next generation.
Finally, two half-day projectlabs were set up,
during which the trainees further shaped and
managed their projects. During the final session
they summarised their own learnings in a personal
story and communicated on the status of
their pro-jects to coaches and managers.
IMPACT

Ghent / Belgium
On the International Day for Street Children
we organised “Who is Junieth”, an awareness
campaign to show the general public the
potential of street-connected children.
During the night of 11 April, the Streetwize •
Mobile School volunteers and team went to
the streets of Ghent. With chalk, flyers and banners
they spread the question “Who is Junieth”
throughout the city. Very early in the morning of
12 April, the residents of Ghent wondered who
Junieth was. Press was contacted; more and
more people became curious. You could also
see curiosity growing on social media channels.
At 12h04 the answer was finally given. On
our website (www.wieisjunieth.be) you could
see a movie about the life of Junieth.
By distributing this video, StreetwiZe •
Mobile School, wants to spread the message.
Stop focusing on the problems and
misery! Let us shift the paradigm and
focus on a potential of 150 million children
and young people that is not being tapped into
by society. Everyone has something to offer!
Thanks to the help of our volunteers, we manage to
set up a large campaign each year that receives the
necessary media attention. That way we can
reach even more people.
We are not only actively engaged in the International
Day for Street Children in Belgium. The
Mobile School partner organisations often celebrate
this day as well. For them it is an opportunity
to organise a special activity on the street or
to communicate to the outside world about their
daily work on the street.

GTW Gliwice
Gliwice / Poland
Gliwice was known for its thriving steel industry.
Then, the industry collapsed, leading to a lot
of poverty in the region. The apartments that
were originally built for the steel workers
dilapidated over the years and they now house
a lot of families with socio-economical problems.
Within these families, alcohol abuse and
unwanted pregnancies are very common.
GTW Gliwice was founded 14 years ago to reach
out to the children and youngsters from these
families, who spend most of their time on the
streets or in the communal backyards of their
apartment blocks. Initially, the focus was mainly
on football activities, but over the course of
the years they rolled out an extensive street
work programme. In addition to the sessions
on the streets, the team runs two daily centres,
where various activities are organised.
The team applied for a mobile school to diversify
the street work activities offered and to be
able to reach even more children. After a successful
exploration of the project in September
last year, both Mobile School and GTW Gliwice
were eager to cooperate. Following the approval
of a project application, the team was able to
extend their street work programme: do more
street work sessions in more areas. The implementation
training came at the perfect time for
the new street work team, since all new team
members are now informed about the Mobile
School methodology and thanks to the intensive
training week, a close-knit team was created.
The mobile school project is a priority within the
organisation and the entire team is really motivated
to start working with the tool. The team can
benefit from the outreach work they have done
over the years, which has allowed them to build
up a trusting relationship with the children and
their families in the areas where they work.
During the training, the Polish Mobile School
network was strengthened as well. Street workers
from Mobile School partner Fundacja Ukryte
Skrzydla participated in parts of the training and
the coordinator from our partner in Bytom, GPU
Uno, co-facilitated the training. In addition, a conference
was organised on the first day to inform

Destination: Lomé, the capital city of Togo.
The organisation AGPODE is supported by
the Belgian vzw Dédé, and that’s how the
coordinator Sesse Koffi Awunyo learned about
Mobile School. Sesse grew up in an impoverished
neighbourhood in the Togolese capital
and is definitely an example of a StreetwiZe
personality in West-Africa.
Besides this, it will be key to determine if the mobile
school will be managed by one or two organisations.
In the near future, a meeting will be held
with AGOPODE and VZW Dédé to determine the
potential next steps.
Lomé / Togo
For the exploratory expedition, the team of
AGOPODE invited six other organisations that
are currently working with street-connected
children in Lomé. One of those organisations
- ONG ANGE - was also part of the Dynamo

Düsseldorf / Germany
Refugee children, children with an immigration
background and children from lowincome
families, that’s the target group of the
mobile school in Düsseldorf.
The team takes the mobile school to the
Refugee House at the Bruchstraße twice a
week, where all these children and their
families live together in apartment blocks.
Before, there was a noticeable fear of contact
between the different families, deriving from
stereotypes or xenophobia. Thanks to the
continuous work with the mobile school, however,
there have been many significant positive
changes in the social behaviour of all the residents
and in their relationship with each other.
The mobile school helped the families at the
Bruchstraße form a community.
What makes the work with this target group
challenging are the strict asylum regulations
and tense bureaucratic situations that keep
families in a constant state of uncertainty and
make it hard for children to cope with their
situation. They often find comfort and stress
relief at the mobile school, which makes the
outreach activities extremely important.

came at a perfect time, because new team
members just joined the team and are now completely
up to date.
After the introduction workshop and the workshop
on the self-esteem model, which lies at the
basis of the Mobile School methodology, a lot of
time was spent on increasing the optimal use
of the educational materials. The team came up
with a way to use panels they hardly ever used
before and to adapt them to their target group,
they played and invented new creative games
with the panels, and developed their own games
during the workshop on creativity. They are now
planning on increasing their mobile school
activities. They want to do an additional street
session per week in a new sector. They will prospect
different locations to find the right spot

For the very first time in the history of
StreetwiZe • Mobile School, our board members
visited a partner project all together, to
work with a mobile school. They were joined
by three of our main investors, bringing the
team to 13 participants. As this is a perfect
group to experience a StreetwiZe leadership
expedition, we decided to set up this programme.
The main goal was to offer a first-hand
impact experience to the decision makers and
investors in our social enterprise. A leadership
expedition co-facilitated by our partner pro-ject
Save The Children in Iasi was the perfect set-up
as it combines the Mobile School and StreetwiZe
side of the organisation.
The participants flew in from Brussels, Amsterdam,
London and Manchester. The team
arrived with eagerness, curiosity and good
vibes ready to experience some very intensive
days. After updating them on the financial and
social impact results, the educators of Save The
Children took us to their centre. They gave an
update on the set-up and strategy of their project
and explained how mobile school has been
embedded as a core element of that strategy
since 2006.
where people try to survive in improvised housing
illegally built on occupied land. Houses lack
water, electricity, decent insulation and proper
heating systems. Many children living in Dallas
participate regularly at the mobile school.
‘Finally’ was an often heard word. As some of the
board members have been engaged more than
20 years in the organisation. Seeing the magic
of the mobile school in action on the streets for
the first time was certainly a special moment for
them. And in the following days they got even
more street experiences and opportunities to
connect with our target audience.
Organising this trip resulted in an even better
understanding and alignment on the mission,
vision and strategy of our social enterprise. It will
certainly help the board members and investors
to play their role in a highly effective way.
We know for sure that all of them left Iasi with
charged batteries and a lot of engagement to
pick up that role in the next coming years. Our
board members are all volunteers and financed
this trip themselves.

The final transnational project meeting within
the Erasmus+ Programme took place in
Bytom, Poland, together with our partners from
Greece (ARSIS: Alberto Perez and PRAKSIS:
Eirini Karanikola) and hosted by CME GPU-
UNO (Robert Cieslar). The main idea of this
meeting was to present the adapted prototype,
get feedback on the latest testings and prepare
the multiplier event and dissemination of the
mobile application.
We started the transnational project meeting
with an update on the finished research report
and with a briefing on the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). As this regulation has
a big impact on data processing, we had to be
aware of all the data we can and cannot keep
within our mobile application.
The second day we totally focused on the application,
StreetSmart. We showed the first
version available on mobile phones and went
through several testing scenarios. This way we
could make a list of the bugs and errors. In the
afternoon we had the opportunity to do a street
intervention with the mobile school and test
StreetSmart. As it was raining, there weren’t
that many children, but still we were able to
put in the attendance of the children, how they
were feeling and if there were any special skills
they were showing.
On the final day, we talked about the organisation
of the multiplier events. These events are
also part of the Erasmus+ Programme. The idea
is to disseminate the products you’ve created
within the programme. Within our project, we
will organise three multiplier events on 28 June
2018: one in Belgium, one in Greece and one in
Poland.
In the afternoon, the team went back to the
streets. This time we went to another district
and tested StreetSmart for the second time. The
volunteers of CME GPU-UNO who joined us,
got a quick explanation on the app. After the
session, we noticed that it was really easy for them
to register the necessary data and that it went
really quickly. This was a really nice result to see,
as we got a better idea of the user-friendliness of
the application.

Tamasha Vijana learned about the Mobile
School methodology through Fikiri Elias, a former
mobile school street worker from Tanzaniaa
who co-facilitated two expeditions in Tanzania
and Kenya in the past. TAMASHA was co-founded
in 2006 by three close friends all working
with young people. The aim of the organisation
is to secure a rightful space for young people
so they can actively contribute to the development
of their societies using participatory
and appreciative approaches. The organisation
mainly works in Tandale, a neighbourhood
in the Tanzanian capital of Dar Es Salaam.
Tamasha wants to interact and partner with
Mobile School to strengthen their VUKENI
(‘Step Up’) project, aimed at supporting
children from poor families living in a vulnerable
environment, to be able to get
education, develop their talents and use them
to support their learning and personal advancement.
In order to maximise their impact,
they partner with a local organisation called
Faraja.
Our Master Trainer Bram Van de Putte conducted
Enlarged network in Tanzania
the exploration training for the team and a
large and diverse group of volunteers in Dar Es
Salaam. The training functioned as an ideal
introduction to street work for the group of
volunteers, who are not yet active as social
92 workers on the streets of Dar Es Salaam. How-
93
ever, it became clear the organisation is not yet
ready to kick-off a full time mobile school project.
Moreover, the collaboration between Tamasha

Every year, StreetwiZe • Mobile School invites
its entire team to connect with its roots and
reason for being; working with street-connected
children and youth at a mobile school, in
collaboration with one of our partner organisations.
On top of connecting with life on the streets,
this expedition is also meant to reinforce the
StreetwiZe • Mobile School team. Connection
within the team and with the partner organisation
is key.
This year we visited two partner organisations,
ARSIS and PRAKSIS, both active in Thessaloniki.
In three days we were in contact with Roma
children from different communities and children
on the move (refugees). We had great,
intensive street sessions and we also prepared
and debriefed on each session with the street
workers. In the meantime, part of the team
also discovered and used the StreetSmart
app StreetwiZe • Mobile School is currently

Bram Van de Putte
Mwema Street Children
Karatu / Tanzania
In November 2016, Partnership Coordinator
Sander Degeling attended the Breaking the
Cycle conference organised by Juconi and
Railway Children in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. It
was there he met for the first time with Elibariki
Mollel, project coordinator of Mwema Street
Children, an organisation active in Karatu in
the Arusha region of Tanzania. One year later,
Mwema decided to launch an application to
become a Mobile School partner.
In Karatu, Mwema aims to promote the
rights of street children and of those at risk of
social exclusion and to enable family reintegration.
In the region - that is frequently visited by
tourists thanks to the beautiful national parks
and wildlife - street children move from city to
city to look for opportunities. The majority of
them end up on the streets of big cities like Arusha,
but as it is the second biggest city in the wider
Arusha region, a large part of children spend
at least some time on the streets of Karatu,
especially in the dry season when tourists visit
the area. Besides a center for about 11 boys,
the organisation also invests a lot of resources
in street work. By running a Street Talent
programme and organising so-called Mwema
Days, the organisation actively invests in
building a relation of trust with the youngsters
who are living or working on the streets of
Karatu.
Mwema Day activities and Street Education have
provided a meeting space for children aimed
at developing many values as friendship, care,
respect and self-confidence. These core values
of the organisation are also promoted through
sports, games and opportunities to make their
voices heard by society.Moreover, the focus on
the strengths and talents of young people on the
streets provides a solid foundation to explore a
future collaboration.
The exploration conducted by Master Trainer
Bram Van de Putte turned out to be really promising.
In the coming months, the management
of Mwema and the Mobile School office will be
in close contact to see if an implementation of
a mobile school can still be done in November
or December 2018. Since all the educational
materials are already available in Swahili, a new
Tanzanian mobile school might arrive in Karatu
in the near future.

Follow-up greece • Ladies Union of Drama

Joke Verreth
Ladies Union of Drama
Drama / Greece
Ladies Union of Drama started working with
the mobile school in 2017. The team currently
organises three mobile school interventions
per week: two sessions at Roma camp Filippou
and one session at the Central Garden during
the ‘bazar’, since many Roma families from
cities around Drama travel to the city on that
day to sell different things. Their children work
as well, to be able to contribute to the family
income.
The last couple of months, the team noticed
that refugee children and their families started
working at the market too. The families live in
the refugee camp in Drama, which was set up
this year. The team is considering starting up
outreach sessions with the mobile school there
as well, should they get the permission to do so
from the city council.
Roma camp Filippou is divided into two rivaling
camps. The families of both sides do not
get along and their children are not allowed
to play together. Currently, the team organises
one mobile school session per week at both
sides. After one year, they have noticed some
improvements already, since some children
participate in both sessions. The future goal
is to put the mobile school in the middle of
the camp, to encourage the children to play
together and to encourage their families to
cooperate. Thanks to their continuous work,
the street educators have been able to build up
relationships of confidence with the children and
their families at the two locations. The team has
applied for a van, since this would allow them to
organise an additional street session per week at
a location outside of Drama.
During the follow-up training, we evaluated the
local mobile school project together with the
team and drew up a clear action plan to guarantee
the sustainability of the project and to
increase the impact on the streets. Although
there is a high turnover of volunteers, the core
team of five street educators has remained the
same since the start of the project, which makes
for a stable and durable way of working.
The team also invented games with the panels
they hardly ever use and they created their own
mobile school activities, adapted to the local context
and to their target groups, which received
positive feedback of the children during the testing
on the streets.
Additionally, the team discovered the Street
Business Toolkit panels, developed to address
business topics on the streets.

level, Orange launched initiatives to tap
into the innovative brain of its workforce.
To motivate and prepare Belgian colleagues to
participate and send in ideas, several inspirational
lunch sessions were organised.
We introduced the StreetwiZe • Mobile School
story (to inspire entrepreneur- & ownership)
and the Street Skill Proactive Creativity (to provide
concrete creativity techniques).
after the hackathon, additional ‘project coaching’
sessions were facilitated by StreetwiZe to assist
the project teams in further development and
implementation of the selected ideas.
A third initiative was a series of ‘pitching coaching
sessions’ for winners of national & international
innovation contests. In these sessions we
prepared a small group of winners to deliver
convincing public pitches.

Besides these lunch sessions, StreetwiZe
facilitated a specific ‘Champions Hackathon
programme’. A group of Orange Champions (selected
by their peers as ‘leaders by example’ on
cultural aspects) was invited to a two-day hackathon.
They were asked to reflect on internal
challenges and to come up with bold ideas for

The theme this year was ‘building a B economy’.
To reach a more inclusive and sustainable
future, the world needs an economy in which
business balances purpose and profit.
This year, the summit was organised in Amsterdam.
During the summit, B Corps from around
the world got inspired through workshops,
inspirational speakers and field visits to some
of the Dutch certified B Corps (Patagonia, Tony
Chocolonely, Plastic Whale, …).
Being a B Corp is not only a value-driven choice;
it makes business sense. With more long-term
focus, B Corps are building better value chains
and take on the continuous challenge to improve
business practices. As a result, B Corps
are demonstrating through a B economy that
impact is leading to scalability, profitability,

argenta • BE StreetwiZe!
29/06/2018 • 13/12/2018
Eric Vanbiervliet
Hans Lamberts
Argenta
Antwerp / Belgium
For quite some times we were thinking of developing
a teambuilding that would keep the
middle between the classic bowling or paintball
moment and a decent workshop. A fun day
with some content.
Eventually, it was for Argenta that we elaborated
the Team Action Day concept. This full day
programme starts from the Street Skill Cooperative
Competition and the conclusion that, as
a team, we can learn a lot from street gangs.
They know very well why they join forces, for
example, they know when to close in. But it
doesn’t keep the individual members from
standing up for themselves.
A very typical thing is also that gang members
are very proud to show that they are part of the
group. They may all wear the same tattoo for
example. This strengthens the bond
between the different gang members on one
hand and makes the gang more attractive to
outsiders on the other.
During the Team Action Day, in line with these
insights, we reflect on the added value of
cooperation within the participating team:
where, how and for whom do we make a difference?
The participants are then asked to deliver
their ‘business card’ as a team by realising a
short introduction movie. We accompany them
in a reflection on how they want to be seen as a
team and how they can visualise that. In the afternoon
they go into the city to create the necessary
footage. After editing the movie, it is time for
the ‘avant-premiere’ and an informal look back.
The many pleasant reactions we received in the
meantime prove that the programme has potential.
Here’s a small selection:
* Unique team event. Well facilitated! Successful
in stimulating team dynamics and getting
to know each other better. I wonder how we can
implement even more Street Skills at Argenta.
(Katleen Boisschot - P & P Manager)
* A very nice, fascinating and instructive day!
Original approach to building a team, unique
experience. (Laurence Van Hissenhoven - P & P
Manager Support)
* Making the movie was a nice experience. I
got to know my colleagues in a completely different
way. Good guidance throughout the day
to achieve a nice result. (Tim Goethals - Product
Marketeer)
And if you wonder why we chose to build this
teambuilding around movies: the idea came
up since our new office in Leuven, where the
programme started, is situated in the former
‘Studio’ cinemas!

Cochabamba, with the support of Provincie
Vlaams-Brabant. The local team transported

on creative therapy, the team learnt how they
could use their creativity and their experience
in theater and clownery at the mobile school
as well.
The main target group of the local team are
the children and youngsters working at the cemetery,
to contribute to the family income. By
organising creative outreach sessions, they
want to prevent these youngsters from crossing
the line between working on the streets to living
on the streets.
their families during funerals participated as
well. In addition, the team is actively looking for
new sectors and target groups to increase the impact
of their local mobile school project. Among
other things, they are considering starting up
mobile school sessions in a local youth prison.
After the implementation, the street educators
were eager to run their mobile school project.
Some actions still need to be taken by the local
team to ensure the successful implementation
of their mobile school project, however, such
as clearing the new Mobile School educational
materials from customs (for both them and the
other Bolivian Mobile School partners), making
a clear planning of the sessions, clearly defining
roles and responsibilities of the team members
involved, looking for new volunteers, etc.
We will make sure to follow up on these to do’s

The mobile school was first implemented in
Ayacucho in 2004 by the local municipality. In
2006, the municipality signed a contract with
Mama Alice and they worked with the school
until 2009.
In 2015, we were able to transfer the mobile
school to Diamanta (a subsidiary company of
Solid Peru). Their mobile school project has
been atypical since the beginning, since their
target group differs from that of our other
partners. Diamanta runs different projects to
support teen moms, at-risk adolescents and
mothers of low-income families. They use the
mobile school to give workshops on sensitive
topics in three schools they collaborate with,
but also to boost the creativity and self-esteem
of the students on the playground.
During the follow-up training for Diamanta
in 2017, a collaboration was started up with
Los Cachorros, another local organisation, to
increase the impact of the mobile school in
Ayacucho.
making sure we also had the opportunity to cover
other topics more in-depth for the well trained
street educators.
During the coaching session, both teams evaluated
the collaboration between their organisations
positively and they drew up an action plan
to increase the impact of their joint mobile school
project in the future. This action plan was made
more concrete during the workshop on planning
and evaluation. Both teams also explored the
educational materials and learned how to work
with and without the mobile school in a creative
way during the in-depth workshop on creative
therapy.
During the follow-up training, two street sessions
were organised by the team of Los Cachorros to

Chisomo Children’s Club
Lilongwe / Malawi
In March 2017, an exploratory expedition
was organised with the team of Chisomo
Children’s Club in Lilongwe, the capital of
Malawi. The Malawian organisation learned
about the mobile school when former director
Charles Gwengwe visited the mobile school
of Retrak Ethiopia in Hosanna. One and a half
year after the implementation - and after an
elaborate translation process of the educational
materials to the dominant local language
Chichewa - the project was ready to hit the
streets with the first mobile school in Malawi,
the 26th mobile school partner country in the
world!
The implementation in Malawi was a special
one, since it was the first time in Mobile School
history an entire StreetwiZe crew went abroad
to train the local team on how to effectively
use the mobile school on the streets. Hans
Lamberts, Eric Vanbiervliet and Ine Stessens
spent two weeks in the Malawian capital to
work with a team of 8 social workers. Despite
some organisational challenges that weren’t
communicated openly before the start of the
implementation - the organisation is going
through rough times and recently lost some
funding partners and a lot of staff - the team
conducted the implementation schedule as
agreed.
During the visit, multiple intervention areas were
visited and tested. The first sessions showed that
there is a big target group for the mobile school
in the Malawian capital. In the coming weeks, the
team will still need to find some stability (both
staff and locations) to consolidate the weekly
mobile school interventions and to familiarise
themselves with the educational materials.
In general, the implementation with Chisomo
Children’s Club was evaluated as a success,
although it will be crucial in the near future to
support the executive director and the local
team in finding creative solutions to overcome
the challenges with human and financial resources.
In 2019, these challenges will be evaluated
during a one-week follow-up visit with the
team of Chisomo Children’s Club.

Bart Vanbellinghen
My Family (entire org)
Belgium
My Family (formerly known as/part of Xerius) is
one of the four organisations in Flanders that
are mandated to pay ‘kinderbijslag’ (child or
family allowances). As of 1st of January 2019,
young parents are free to choose their family
allowance fund themselves, whereas in the
past this was linked to the employer. This
means that this service, and all other organisations
managing these allowances, move into
a more open and competitive environment,
where their future success and existence will
depend on the number of families they serve.
The service (the what) itself allows for very little
differentiation (limited by law) so it will really
come down to how this service gets delivered/
perceived by the customers. In preparation
of this evolution, management of My Family
decided to launch an initiative called ‘extremely
client oriented organisation met with
extremely happy employees’, to identify and
implement the necessary organisational
changes. They consciously chose to go for a
bottom-up approach and asked a workgroup
of internal volunteers to come up with ideas
on how My Family should organise itself to
delight customers while raising employee satisfaction
at the same time.
StreetwiZe facilitated this process in close collaboration
with an internal project manager:
• building the workgroup
• getting them in ‘change maker’-modus
• start a creative proces to identify ideas to improve
service and collaboration (more than
80 concrete ideas generated)
• prioritising and further developing the ideas
(and coping with initial feedback)
• public speaking & pitching to colleagues
and Senior Management
Three months after the kick-off session, about 15
developed ideas (some small and tactical, some
more complex and more strategic) were pitched
to Senior Management. All proposals were
accepted and are planned for implementation
throughout 2019.

For Fedasil, the Belgian federal agency for the
reception of asylum seekers, we realised a twoday
programme on group dynamics. A collaboration
we are very proud of, given the many
parallels that can be drawn between both
organisations. It was nice to see, for example,
that the approach of the teams taking care of
unaccompanied minors is very similar to ours,
based on self-esteem and the development of
the youngsters towards more autonomy and
self-reliance.
In such a context, the positive orientation and
the opportunity focus of the youth workers, a
strong connection between them, with the
youngsters and with the other teams and a
smooth, but caring collaboration are key, as we
know from our work with the mobile schools.
That is why we started from the Street Skills
Positive Focus and Cooperative Competition
and the Street Technique Connect as building

The Elia Group Faraday Program is a 1one-yeardevelopment
programme for high performing
young potentials within Elia (Belgium) and 50
Hertz (Germany).
Active in a sector in the core of the energy transition,
developing crucial skills of future leaders
to successfully cope with, guide and lead
change is key for the Elia Group to be future
proof.
In the Faraday development programme
these leaders are prepared for their future
role. To kick-off of this programme, StreetwiZe
sets the scene with an international expedition
in Iasi. In this international out-of-thecomfort
zone experience, we focus on the importance
of being aware of your own perspective
and the ability to shift it, on the importance
of proactively asking for feedback, on dealing
with ambivalence and on immersion and the
difference between ‘real’ limits and ‘felt’ limits.

MS Playground
Leuven / Belgium
With the Mobile School Playground, a web
based platform, Mobile School aims to boost
the creativity of street educators worldwide. Until
now, our partners were able to have a look at
the best games developed during StreetwiZe
expeditions or during Mobile School exchange
programmes. For each game, pictures and a
manual are available to give more insight in
the game rules. However, the street educators
of our partners still had to invest a lot of time
in making the games before they were able to
take the new concepts to the streets. In fact,
we’ve noticed it’s a challenge for street educators
to find enough time to reproduce these
new games.
In September 2018, we therefore launched the
second part of the Mobile School Playground:
the Do-it-yourself games. Together with the educational
workgroup and local street work partners
from Europe and Latin America, we were
able to create a total of 17 attractive ready-toprint
game boards. Six of these games were
developed by the educational volunteers
during two project cycles of three meetings in
the year 2018.
The goal of the DIY games is that partner
organisations can easily print the game boards
themselves, so they just need to attach them to
the back side of an existing Mobile School panel.
By doing so, we aim to limit the preparation
time to create new activities. Moreover, we aim
to offer a wide range of extra games that street
educators can easily use on the mobile school.
In order to make the games as accessible as possible,
street educators can find both a written
and a video manual on the platform so they can
quickly understand and play the game with their
target group on the streets.
In 2019, new DIY games will be developed with
the educational volunteers. A first feedback round
will be organised with our street work partners to
see how the street educators evaluate both the
inspiration and the DIY games on the MS Playground.
This feedback will be valuable input for
the development of the state-of-the-art platform
we’re developing in the Erasmus+ project.

Islamabad / Pakistan
Early October, Mobile School travelled to
the Pakistani capital Islamabad for the
very first time to explore a potential partnership
with the organisation Lettuce Bee
Kids. LBK is also a social enterprise, which
uses drawings and designs of children to
create child-friendly products in order to generate
revenue to sustain the social component
of the organisation, so there are quite a few
links between StreetwiZe • Mobile School and
LBK. Moreover, the need for a mobile school is
crystal clear, since Pakistan is one of the countries
with most street-connected children and
one of the lowest literacy levels in the world.
or trash collectors to contribute to the family
income. By implementing a mobile school, LBK
could potentially maximise the number of kids
they are already reaching in these locations.
In order to make the project sustainable, two
meetings were done with Shifa Foundation, a
huge Pakistani disaster relief organisation that is
interested in the Mobile School methodology. In
the coming months, the teams of LBK and Shifa
Foundation will check what a potential collaboration
could look like to make sure the mobile
school can go out to the streets multiple times
per week in the Pakistani capital.

During the one-week exploratory training,
a small team of five members was trained
during the four workshops. Despite the small
number of trainees, the exploration showed
huge potential for a future mobile school project

For Zorgbedrijf Antwerpen (‘Care Company

such as ‘Who am I really? ‘ and ‘Where
and how do I want to make a difference?’. We
combine that reflection with the sharpening of
our individual positive focus, a necessary basis

The team of Caritas Georgia runs various programmes
to reach out to all vulnerable and

Children and Youth Protection & Development
programme specifically, the team assists more
than 500 children per year. They work with
children between 5 and 18 years old (children
without parental care, children living and working
on the streets, children living below poverty
level and socially unprotected children)
through different projects: two day care centres
and night shelters, three group homes, an independent
life programme, a youth club and
mobile work with street-connected children.
The main focus during the current outreach activities
the team organises is on identifying the
children on the streets and on evaluating their
living and working conditions. The team offers
some educational activities as well, but they
want to expand their educational offer even
more, to go beyond just registering the children
and their needs. The mobile school would
be a big help in realising that objective. By

Nairobi / Kenya
The Kenyan capital Nairobi is infamous for its
high number of street-connected children and

the Kenyan capital with a mobile school in the
neighbourhoods of Dandora and Korogocho,
but in 2018 we received another promising
application of an organisation called The Joy
Divine that wants to use a mobile school to
strengthen their Shule Mtaani (‘Street School’)
project in the area of Mlango Kubwa.
During the exploration, a team of 35 volunteers
was trained on the basic principles of
the mobile school. Besides the core team of
the Joy Divine, other street educators from the
organisation Immanuel Afrika also attended
the four workshops.
In the coming months, the Mobile School team
will take a final decision together with the team
of The Joy Divine regarding the implementation
of a mobile school. This new mobile school
would be the 4th one in Kenya, after the launch
of mobile schools in Nairobi, Mombasa and

Pomocna Dłoń
Racibórz / Poland
Pomocna Dłoń runs a centre in Racibórz,
Poland, where they offer educational support
and various activities to children & youngsters
and support their families. The organisation
heard about the mobile school during a street
work conference in Krakau.
Before the exploratory expedition, they already
joined the mobile school team of our partner
in Bytom on the streets, to see the mobile
school in action. Currently, three street workers
do outreach sessions in two districts in
Racibórz, organising various mini-projects with
the youngsters, with the focus on organising
their free time in a constructive way. All street
educators are responsible for one small group
of youngsters.
The team of Pomocna Dłoń is very eager to
implement the mobile school during their outreach
activities. They want to be able to reach
the street-connected children and youngsters
they are not reaching with their current programmes.
Although Racibórz is a small town,
the mobile school could have a substantial
impact on the streets, since it would be a big
added value to the outreach work the team is
currently doing and since the project is clearly
a priority for both the management and the
team. Other advantages are financial sustainability
(Pomocna Dłoń is mostly funded by the
local government) and a good local network.
Over the years, the team established a good collaboration
with the local police force and with
local schools. Since we can only implement four
mobile schools per year and the scope of the
target group in Racibórz would be significantly
smaller than that of other prospected organisations
this year, it is highly likely we will not be
able to send a new mobile school to the team of
Pomocna Dłoń. There is, however, a possibility of
transferring the mobile school of partner GPAS
in Warsaw. Their mobile school project has been
put on hold for over a year and has not been a
priority for the organisation in years, due to financial
difficulties. We contacted our partner to
further explore this option.
Since the team of Pomocna Dłoń does not speak
English, we decided to give all workshops in Polish.
Robert Cieślar, the coordinator of the mobile
school project in Bytom and one of our regional
Mobile School trainers, took the lead. After a
positive evaluation, we decided to include him
in our trainer network as a Master Trainer for (Polish)

Tanzania to conduct two weeks of implementation
workshops and street work to the team

exploration earlier this year, the project was
eager to start their interventions on the streets
with the mobile school. Since all the materials
were already translated to Swahili and we
already have active mobile schools in Tanzania,
it didn’t take a long time to get everything
ready for the streets of Karatu.
The town of Karatu is often called ‘Safari Junction’
because of its strategic location close to the
Serengeti and Ngorongoro, two of the major
national parks that attract a high number of
tourists. The tourism industry also brings a lot
of opportunities to the streets of Karatu, where
one can find a high number of street-connected
children in high season. The majority of these
kids come from the poor rural areas surrounding
the city and end up on the streets of Karatu
to look for better opportunities.

The Child Trust was founded in 2005. The
organisation’s main objective is to ensure the
right to food and a qualitative education for all
children. They are very active in lobbying and
advocacy. In addition, they sometimes organise
educational activities in two communities,
to reach out to the children and youngsters of
slum areas not going to school, with the goal to
eventually mainstream them.
The organisation recently started working with
refugees as well. They offer classes to refugee
children and skill training to refugee mothers,
so they can generate their own income.
The Child Trust applied for a mobile school to be
able to reach out to a new target group: the children
of migrant farmers and migrant construction
workers, since currently no other local organisations
are reaching out to them. Although
the vision of The Child Trust on outreach work
and on self-sustainable practises is compatible
to ours and there is clearly a target group for
the mobile school in New Delhi, it became clear
during the exploratory expedition that a partnership
will not be possible in the near future.

On 22 December 2018, the StreetwiZe • Mobile
School volunteers organised a fantastic
sponsored walk: #DuwMee.
For the sixth year in a row, friends, family and
followers of our organisation came together to
walk and raise funds for Mobile School. It has
become a tradition to mobilise everyone in
the context of Music For Life to participate in
the ‘hottest’ walk of the year. #Duwmee2018
was (yet again) a very successful edition!
People could choose between two walks;
one starting from Brussels (70 km) and one
from Sint-Niklaas (30 km). No less than 850
people walked to Wachtebeke. Along the way
they were kept warm by the surprise animations,
the unique atmosphere, hot soup and
heart-warming chats with the other walkers.
Music For Life is organised by Studio Brussel,
a Flemish radio station. Studio Brussel encourages
people and organisations to raise funds
for a charity of their choice. This year more than
12,000 actions were set up for 1,986 different
charities. The week before Christmas, Studio
Brussel broadcasted live radio from the Provincial
Domain Puyenbroeck in Wachtebeke,
where they welcomed people who had participated
in a fundraising activity, in a festival-like
atmosphere.
The #DuwMee climax was to end up on the Studio
Brussel DJ’s’ podium and announce live on
the radio how much money the Mobile School
volunteers raised with this sponsored walk .
On December 22nd at 7PM we all arrived in Puyenbroeck
and to everybody’s surprise, the volunteers
announced €51,500!
A phenomenal amount that every walker and
their network have contributed to. The euphoria
was great but even greater was the confidence
that the money will be invested in a good way, to
support existing Mobile School projects and to
start up new projects.
#DuwMee is an important action for Mobile
School. During the campaign, we are actively
in the picture, we bring our network together
and we get the financial support and the trust
to enable us to continue working on empowering
street-connected children and street workers

a surprisingly good year in terms of social
impact for Mobile School, this already reflected
the growth forecast for 2018.
