We developed a prototype of StreetSmart Impact
in 2018, in collaboration with Share.IT
and Erasmus+. Based on this prototype, we
defined the requirements to be implemented
in the first version. Thanks to the funding of
Google.org, we were able to start the selection
process of our future IT-partner. In the end,
Halcyon Mobile, situated in Cluj, Romania, was
able to convince us of their technical expertise,
their project plan and most of all of their drive
and commitment to support youth workers.
After a testing phase in September, we were able
to launch StreetSmart Impact in October 2020.
The tool is now available for all youth workers
worldwide to improve the monitoring of their
youth work activities, support their coaching
process with young people and visualise the
evolution of their impact.
Of course, this is only just a first version, we are
already working hard on the next, improved,
one. Stay tuned!

2020
In April 2020, after having clarified the technical
requirements, the development process
was started up with the design phase of the
youth worker app. By summer, we had a first
version of the youth worker app and of the web
backend.
Due to the impact of COVID-19, the need for
digital youth work increased dramatically,
which is why we decided to speed up the
development of the app for youngsters: the I
Am StreetSmart app. Instead of initiating the
development in 2021 as planned, we started
the development in July 2020, so the app for
youngsters could be finished at the same time
as the other StreetSmart Impact components.
