Impact Report 2018 StreetwiZe • Mobile School

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
