FOREWORD
At Mobile School, we believe that a strong and authentic purpose is the foundation of successful and future proof organisations. Similar
to falling in love, discovering your purpose can lead to intense emotions, heightened awareness of others and increased empathy. It can
provide a sense of motivation and focus that drives individuals and organisations to achieve things they never thought possible before.
Just like love, purpose can have a positive impact on mental health, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, while increasing feelings of
happiness and satisfaction.
Our quest is to help more people and organisations fall in love. We aspire to support them in deepening their self-awareness and finding
meaning in the projects that will shape their lives. Our goal is to empower them to develop agency and leadership skills and to be part of
the transformations that are needed in society.
In this report, we’re happy share some of the projects we’ve delivered to youth work communities and business communities in 2022.

Global
2022
After two challenging years due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the StreetSmart Wheels
expeditions returned back to normal in the
past year. In 2022, 5 new mobile school
projects were started by our team of global
trainers. In Uganda, our partner Dwelling Places
started up a mobile school in the capital
Kampala for the high number of children on
the streets after a school closure of 2 years due
to the pandemic. In Bucharest, Romania, our
partner Save the Children started reaching out
to children from Ukrainian families who are
fleeing the ongoing war in their home country.
In the Malawian capital Lilongwe, one of
our mobile schools was restarted with our new
partner YONECO after an inactivity of over 2
years. In Tbilisi, Georgia we were finally able to
kick-off our mobile school project which was on
hold for two years due to the pandemic. And
finally in Souf Camp in Jordan - near the city
of Jerash - our partner ILearn started the first
mobile school project in the Middle East
region in a camp for Palestinian refugees.
Besides the 5 new implementations, the
Wheels team invested a lot in the prospection
of new partner organisations, to secure
the growth of the StreetSmart Wheels network
in the coming years. Prospections were
organised in Colombia (2), Mexico, Uganda,
Jordan, Sierra Leone, Nepal and South Africa.
Some of these prospections will lead to new
implementations in 2023. Besides prospections
and implementations, the team also organised
3 follow-up visits for active partner projects in
Poland, Lithuania and Togo. To meet the demand
of our European partners who started working
with Ukrainian children who were fleeing the
war, we also translated some of our educational
materials into Ukrainian. These materials were
distributed and discussed during a seminar in
Krakow in Poland for 3 Polish and 2 Greek partner
organisations. During all the expeditions organised
in 2022, just over 200 youth workers were
trained by the StreetSmart Wheels team.
The high number of StreetSmart Wheels
expeditions coincided in the end with a lot of
mobile school activity from our partner network. In
comparison with the difficult years 2020 and
2021, we noticed solid growth in the number of
sessions and the number of children reached, on
all four continents. In total, the network conducted
2714 sessions with the mobile school and
reached 57 452.

StreetSmart Impact users
Worldwide
2022
In 2022, StreetSmart Impact was actively used
by Habbekrats (44 users), the Municipality of
Evergem (3 users), vzw Lejo Aalst (10 users),
OverKop Genk (1 general profile used for the
entire team) and by 15 StreetSmart Wheels
partners. Our current clients are very positive
about our tool and recommend it to other youth
workers. Jef Prové, the team coordinator of vzw
Lejo Aalst, for example, says the following:
“StreetSmart Impact help us show both the
quantitative and qualitative impact we have as
an organisation. The biggest strengths are its
ease of use, its customisability, the clear reports
and the support you get from the StreetSmart
team.”
Other youth work organisations showed an
interest in StreetSmart Impact as well. With every
interested organisation, we first set up an
intake call and give a demo of our tool, to verify
if our tool meets their registration needs. If so,
a three-hour onboarding workshop is organised,
during which we customise StreetSmart
Impact to the specific way of working of the organisation
and during which the youth workers
actively get to know the app and the web
platform, so they can immediately start using
StreetSmart Impact in their day-to-day work.
In 2022, 19 demos were given and 3 organisations
decided to start testing StreetSmart Impact
for a year: Safe Space vzw (9 users), De Moeve
vzw (5 users) and De Plek (14 users).
Our StreetSmart Wheels partners can use
StreetSmart Impact as well to track their activities
and participants and to follow up on the personal
development of the children and youth they work
with. In 2022, 14 StreetSmart Wheels partners
received the StreetSmart Impact demo and onboarding
workshop.
Based on the feedback of all StreetSmart Impact
users, new developments were made to the app
and the web platform, to make them even more
user-friendly. The new updates were released in
July and in October.

101 youth workers participated in 25 StreetSmart Impact demos
164 youth workers participated in 17 onboarding workshops

StreetSmart Play & Educational Materials

StreetSmart team
Share educational materials
Leuven / Belgium
2022
In 2022, different initiatives were taken by the
team to strengthen our on- and offline educational
offer for youth workers. A total of 16 new
educational videos were recorded in the office
and uploaded on Youtube and StreetSmart
Play to explain to youth workers how to use
some of the newly developed health panels.
Moreover, the team also tried to meet the
demand of our European partner organisations
who were suddenly confronted with a new
target group: Ukrainian children who were
fleeing the war in their home country with
their families. Therefore, the StreetSmart team
translated 9 educational games into Ukrainian.
These materials were combined with a video
(translated in 6 different languages) which
explains how to work with refugee children.
All the materials are accessible for free on
StreetSmart Play so that all youth workers
around the globe have free access to them.
The expansion of the StreetSmart Wheels network
also created the need for more translations
and cultural adaptations of the existing
educational materials. Our materials were
therefore translated in new languages such as
Arabic, Nepali (Nepal), Luganda (Uganda), Karamajong
(Uganda) and Georgian.
Our package in Romanian also received a makeover
for the implementation of a new mobile
school in Bucharest.
During the year 2022, more games were also
added to our online platform StreetSmart Play.
9 new concepts were uploaded from our StreetwiZe
Connected Leadership expedition with
Exellys and Telenet in the Red Cross Centre for
asylum seekers in Pelt. Besides these new games,
the team also made sure all of the StreetSmart
panels (except the full offer on language and
mathematics) are now online available for all
youth workers.
In 2022, StreetSmart Play saw a steady growth in
its user base, with a total of 8107 users engaging
with the platform. These users generated a
significant amount of traffic, with 34806 page
views and 11232 sessions, of which 3404 lasted
over 60 seconds. On average, users viewed
3.1 pages per session, indicating that they were
exploring the site in depth. Last year, 383 new
users signed up to StreetSmart Play. Additionally,
1489 manual downloads were made, highlighting
the usefulness of the platform resources.

As we reflect on the past two years, we’re
really proud of the progress we’ve made with
StreetSmart Learn - a free, online learning
environment designed to support the professional
development of youth workers,
educators and social workers. The platform
provides a variety of learning resources,
including online courses, programmes and
good practices on topics such as play-based
learning, psychology, and inclusive youth work.
The platform also includes specific support
trainings for our other StreetSmart products.
This innovative solution addresses the growing
need for accessible and flexible professional
development opportunities for youth workers
and educators across Europe, enabling users to
gain new skills and knowledge, regardless of
their location or schedule. The platform is also
designed to be highly interactive, with a range
of multimedia resources and social features
that encourage users to engage with each other
and share their experiences.
The development of StreetSmart Learn was
a collaborative effort between three organisations:
Mobile School vzw, PRAKSIS, and
Save the Children Romania, co-funded by the
European Union (Erasmus+). The platform was
developed over the course of two years.
In 2022, we focused on launching StreetSmart
Learn both within and outside our network. We
organised various multiplier events to disseminate
and scale the developed learning platform.
In Belgium, we held an on-location and an
online event in June and August, which included
a keynote speaker on lifelong learning and
a demo of StreetSmart Learn. In Greece and
Romania, we organised virtual multiplier events
in July and September, respectively. Since its
launch, StreetSmart Learn has received positive
feedback from users and has been actively
promoted through a range of channels, including
online webinars, social media, and live events
like conferences.
Overall, StreetSmart Learn represents an important
step forward in the field of youth work and education.
By providing a free, accessible, and flexible
learning environment, where also webinars
on other youth work topics can be hosted, the
platform has the potential to support the professional
development of a wide range of youth
workers and educators, and to help them better
serve the needs of young people in their communities.

All Children, All Right(s) was a collaborative
project, co-funded by the European
Union (Erasmus+), that aimed to develop an
educational toolkit to promote the rights of
children and youth, with a particular focus on
youth work. The project brought together 4
partners from Belgium (2), Greece, and
Germany, who worked together to create
four components for this toolkit: educational
posters, games and activities, audio stories and
online learning programmes.
Monthly meetings were held to review progress
and work on the project results, as well as an
onsite meeting in Thessaloniki (Greece) to start
the design process of the posters.
Together with illustrator Gijs Vanhee, the team
created 11 educational posters, covering topics
such as children’s rights in general, the
right to survival, development, protection and
participation. The posters feature five main
characters, based on true stories of children and
child peace award winners, with accompanying
audio stories.
To ensure the educational posters were effective
and engaging, the partners tested them with
their target audience and provided feedback to
the illustrator. Each poster includes as well at
least three activities for children. In addition to
the posters, audio stories, and activities, six online
learning programmes on the same topics as the
posters were also developed. The creation of
these learning programmes began in July 2022
and will be hosted on StreetSmart Learn.
By the end of 2022, the only remaining tasks
were creating the graphical elements of the
online training, creating the video content, and
translating the training into French, Spanish, and
Dutch. These final steps are scheduled for completion
in the first few months of 2023, along
with recording the audio stories in six languages
(EN, NL, FR, ES, EL, DE).
The All Children, All Right(s) project represents
an important step for our organisation, as it has
allowed us to create new materials and integrate
existing materials into topic-related toolkits. This
approach offers a holistic approach for youth professionals
and will help us to integrate our digital
products, StreetSmart Play and StreetSmart
Learn. The project has been a great success, and
we look forward to sharing this toolkit and online
programmes inside and outside our network in
2023.

National & International
StreetwiZe offers a unique blend of inspiration
and education through its keynote presentations.
These presentations draw from the
personal stories of its founders, Arnoud Raskin
and Bram Doolaege, as well as the experiences
of street children whom they have worked with.
Keynotes cover topics that are both relevant
to business and society, making them a powerful
tool for business transformation and leadership
development.
In 2022, StreetwiZe added two new keynotes
to its portfolio: “Purpose & Performance” and
“Talent is overrated”. These were added to the
existing topics of “Self-Leadership” and
“Change Maker Leadership”, allowing
StreetwiZe to offer a wider range of options for
businesses and organisations. With a total of
38 keynotes delivered in 2022, StreetwiZe has
proven to be a reliable and effective source of
inspiration for companies of all sizes.
What sets StreetwiZe apart from other keynote
speakers is its focus on authenticity and personal
experience. The stories shared by Arnoud Raskin
and Bram Doolaege are not just theoretical
musings or abstract concepts, but rather real-life
experiences that have shaped their thinking
and approach to business. By sharing these experiences,
StreetwiZe is able to connect with its
audience on a deeper level, inspiring them to
take action and make positive changes in their
own organisations.
Overall, StreetwiZe’s keynote presentations offer
a powerful combination of inspiration, education,
and real-life experience. With a range of
topics to choose from and a proven track record
of success, it’s no wonder that more and more
companies are turning to StreetwiZe to help
them transform their businesses and become
change makers in their own right.

The connected leader
Belgium & Romania
Immersive leadership expeditions offered by
StreetwiZe are truly unique and life-changing
experiences. These learning journeys take participants
to environments that are completely
unknown to them, forcing them to step out of
their comfort zone and allowing them to develop
their leadership skills on a personal level.
One of the key aspects that make these expeditions
so impactful are the type of organisations
that StreetwiZe partners up with. These organisations
are closely linked to the core values of
StreetwiZe and include a youth work organisation
in Iasi, Romania, a prison in Leuven,
a youth detention center in Beernem, and a
refugee center in Pelt. By partnering with these
organisations, StreetwiZe not only introduces
participants to new environments but also
enables them to collaborate closely with individuals
from different walks of life. Participants
work in teams with street children, prisoners,
and refugees to fulfill an assignment with real
social impact.
organisations can showcase the impact they are
creating and can open up to the outside world.
Finally, all profits are reinvested in StreetSmart
activities that aim to help street children worldwide.
In 2022, StreetwiZe had the pleasure of accommodating
groups from Assa Abloy, Elia, Telenet,
and Exellys. The team is eagerly looking forward
to organising more expeditions in 2023 and beyond.
The StreetwiZe team firmly believes that
these immersive expeditions can create significant
personal and social impact, and they are
committed to expanding their reach to a broader
audience in the coming years. If you are interested
in taking part in a unique and life-changing experience,
do consider participating in a StreetwiZe
immersive leadership expedition.

Factory outreach:
In a factory environment, it is impossible to get
started via classical training and facilitation.
In the guidance and personal development
of first-line managers, we therefore focused
on coaching on the shop floor. Just like at the
mobile school, we take the plunge and are
guests at our client’s site. This allows us to
build a bond of trust and provide immediate
support where needed, with no impact on
organisational productivity, but with direct
impact on team growth and satisfaction.

skills such as self-leadership, empathy and

StreetwiZe Top Workshops
1/1/2022 • 31/12/2022
StreetwiZe trainers
(Future) StreetwiZe clients
Belgium & The Netherlands
In 2022, the most popular workshops were
Positive Focus, Pitching, and Storytelling.
These three workshops address essential skills
that can be applied in various settings. Positive
Focus is about spotting opportunities and shifting
our behaviour to focus on things that work
well, ultimately leading to better outcomes for
individuals and companies alike. It is a starting
point for any meaningful collaboration, as it
allows us to approach the world positively and
with an open mind.
Storytelling, on the other hand, is a skill that
goes beyond just telling a story. It involves
conveying the “why” of our commitment to
others and touching emotions to inspire and
move people. Storytelling is about bringing a
message, vision, or mission to life in a way that
convinces people and gets our message across
effectively.
The popularity of these workshops can be
attributed to the need for team members to stay
engaged in times of change and uncertainty. By
equipping individuals with these skills, they can
adapt to new circumstances, approach problems
with positivity, and effectively communicate their
ideas and plans to others.
Cynicism and purpose-driven work are opposing
forces, and focusing on the negative aspects of a
problem can often be unproductive. Instead, it is
essential to shift our focus to the positive and see
opportunities where others may only see problems.
Positive Focus, Storytelling, and Pitching
are just some of the skills that can help individuals
and companies navigate uncertain times
successfully.
IMPACT

Lastly, Pitching is a technique that helps us increase
our impact when selling an idea, plan,
or project. It involves consciously bringing a
message in a short period and engaging the
audience to elicit a specific response. Pitching
requires honed sales skills and an ability to
convince people through speech, making our
idea or ourselves top-of-mind.

MobileSchool.org team
Volunteers
Despite not having a structured offer for
primary and secondary schools in Belgium, we
always try to respond to schools that ask us if
there is an opportunity to learn more about
Mobile School. At primary schools, we take the
mobile school with us and let the children play
with it alongside an explanation of what we do
and why we do it the way we do it.
This way, they support both MobileSchool.org
and all street children worldwide in giving them
a voice.
Belgian schools
Belgium
At secundary schools, we present Mobile
School without actually taking the physical
school with us. We show some videos and
reflect on the talents and strengths of street
children. In both types of schools, we work
towards the conclusion that street children are
incredibly talented, resilient and agile and that
we can learn of them in different ways.
IMPACT
Taking into consideration our hybrid social
enterprise and our wish for impact on the
streets, we ask schools to contribute financially
to MobileSchool.org in exchange for our 1-day
visit. Many schools organise a fundraiser
collecting first names.

At MobileSchool.org we have the best volunteers
in the world! Without them, we would
not be able to do what we do. We attach great
importance to keeping our wonderful volunteers
connected with the organisation and with
each other and to informing them about the
ongoing projects of the organisation, which
is why we organise several activities for them
throughout the year.
In January, we organised the online escape
room “Topo’s Trip”, developed by StreetwiZe,
during which 10 of our volunteers connected
with each other and with the streets. In March,
we organised a volunteer weekend. 19 volunteers
followed a Masterclass on ‘purpose’ given
by StreetwiZe manager Wim Depickere, played
a game with the newly developed StreetSmart
Wheels educational materials on health and
many fun energizers, and brainstormed about
the #DuwMee campaign. In September, we
organised a fun activity for all volunteers
and their family in the Provincial Domain of
Kessel-Lo and no less than 60 people turned
up. Finally a Mobile School Café was organised
in October. After an inspirational keynote given
by Junieth - a former street child and now the
Partnership Coordinator of our European and
Latin American StreetSmart Wheels Partners -
about 20 volunteers were able to find out more
about various ongoing Mobile School projects
and were able to connect informally as well.
To keep our volunteers updated throughout the
year, we also sent out 9 newsletters.
Since we have the best volunteers in the world,
as an organisation it is important for us to make
sure we are meeting our volunteers’ needs
with our offer. To evaluate our current volunteer
strategy, we organised an online meeting with
our volunteers and, afterwards, sent out a survey
to all volunteers that could not take part to get
their valuable feedback as well. Based on this
feedback, we drew up an activity plan for 2023.
People interested in MobileSchool.org can take
part in an info evening, during which they get
to know all there is to know about our organisation
and can “meet” the mobile school. In 2022,
3 info evenings were organised. In total, 10
new people have been informed about Mobile-
School.org.

Online campaign
In April 2022, COVID was still present and the
financial situation was pretty difficult which
is why we decided to organise a combined
visibility and fundraising campaign selling
street wear. We designed two types of prints
and sold around 200 tshirts - both for adults
and children - and baby bodysuits.
The sales campaign was online and mainly
focused on our local and national fans and
followers. Our volunteers helped boosting
sales and supported us in the handling of
logistics.
Even though this campaign stayed limited to
200 pieces, for a small social enterprise like
Mobile School, it is still pretty impressive to
have 200 people in Belgium walk around with
our logo on their tshirt.
Every time one of our shirts is proudly worn, we
hope people are triggered and Streetkids get
the attention they deserve.

Fundraising
Herent / Belgium
2022
On 25 May 2022, we organised the third
edition of our fundraising party #FeestMee.
This year, for the first time, we cooperated
with GC De Wildeman. During COVID, they
built a temporary pop-up theater from scratch
in a warehouse building in Herent, Belgium:
“Hangar 3020”. After 8 months, the theater had
to be taken down and Mobile School was given
the opportunity to organise #FeestMee as the
closing party.
It was a big success! In total, 550 people came
and danced the night away, on the great beats
of the three female DJ’s that have become
#FeestMee “regulars”: Miss Charlie, Ilse Liebens
and Anda Ackx. All profits went to Mobile
School.
We are already looking forward to the next
#FeestMee edition!

20th anniversary of MS
Leuven / Belgium
2022
More than 560 passionate supporters united
to walk through the beautiful city of Leuven
and its surroundings for the eighth edition
of the #DuwMee sponsored walk, held on 17
December 2022. This year, the event had a
special significance as it celebrated Mobile
School’s 20th anniversary.
Participants had various options to take part
in the route, starting from Mechelen (60 km),
Leuven (30 km), Blanden (18 km), Sint-Joris-
Weert (13 km) or Heverlee (5 km). Walkers
were treated to surprise entertainment, hot
drinks and heart-warming conversations with
each other, keeping them warm and motivated
throughout the walk despite the cold weather.
The grand finale of the event was a final show
that also marked Mobile School’s birthday
celebration. Attendees enjoyed various acts
and delicious snacks while waiting for the announcement
of the total amount raised during
the #DuwMee event. This year’s campaign was
a great success, with generous donations and
support from both individuals and organisations
alike. In total, we raised over €55.000.
All funds raised during #DuwMee will be invested
in existing Mobile School projects and used
to launch new projects that will support street
children and street workers around the world.
The #DuwMee walk is not only an essential fundraising
event for Mobile School, but it also raises
awareness about Mobile School’s mission and
reminds us of the importance of empowering
vulnerable populations worldwide.
As the event came to an end, participants left with
heartwarming memories of the special edition
of #DuwMee. The event provided an opportunity
for all types of people to come together, enjoy a
beautiful walk and raise money for a good cause.

“We have been using StreetSmart Wheels materials for several years now, and it’s an important part of our activities. We find the StreetSmart Wheels
materials very useful, attractive and challenging for our children. In all the communities where we go and use these materials, we get positive feedback
from both children and adults.”

This was the last year we organised the Sidewalk Chalk Campaign in primary schools.
The campaign was stopped to focus on growing the impact of StreetSmart Wheels and the start-up of StreetSmart.
Our impact decreased in 2020 and 2021
due to COVID-19 restraints. StreetSmart
Wheels partners realised less activities
and contacts than the years before and
StreetwiZe could not deliver as much
in-classroom training.
The average quality of contacts of the
StreetSmart Wheels partners increased with
5,5% in comparison with 2014.
This calculation is based on an assessment of the
StreetSmart Wheels partners.
