Mobile School is a social enterprise that empowers street-connected children and youngsters worldwide. They build mobile schools and train street educators worldwide to work with these schools. All educational materials and games are designed to strengthen self esteem and identity, to discover talents and to empower.

DHL Global Forwarding, host of this event and Mobile School’s partner of years, will ship a mobile school for the 40th time for free. The final destination of this mobile school is Greece.
Mobile School receives the European Citizen’s Prize because of their commitment to street-connected children in Europe. The first cooperation started in 2006 with a European project in Romania. Several other mobile schools followed, in Poland (3), Greece (2), Germany, Albania and Spain. With this new school that will be shipped to Patras in Greece, there will be a total of 10 mobile schools in Europe. The European mobile schools so far realised more than 57.000 contacts with street-connected children. Considering the growing need in Europe, the number of mobile schools will increase in the near future.
