"StreetwiZe: What managers can learn from street kids”
product designer, youth worker, social entrepreneur, keynote speaker
Arnoud Raskin is the founder of MobileSchool.org and StreetwiZe. He is an internationally recognised social entrepreneur, Ashoka Fellow and author of the book ‘StreetwiZe: What managers can learn from street kids”.
Arnoud transforms his experience as a product designer, youth worker and social entrepreneur into two captivating keynotes.
For over 15 year, Arnoud has been bringing the StreetwiZe story around the world, at company events and conferences, but also as the kick-off of leadership and team development programs.
Arnoud tells the story of ‘the why’ and ‘the how’ he started as a student entrepreneur at design school with a mission to change the world. He explains how purpose became the main compass of his leadership and how he used it to inspire and engage others to build a global network of companies and NGO’s tackling the reality of street connected children.
Arnoud presents the 3 core ingredients of Change Maker Leadership. Such leadership is essential to tackle global problems such as basic education for 150 million street children, but also to bring about concrete change in your personal life or work. Not from high level theories but translated into concrete steps that anyone can take to master Change Maker Leadership.

Needless to say that we believe in the power of talents. Through our experience with talent development both on the street and in companies, we learned the three main challenges when it comes to talent development. In the keynote you will learn 12 practical tips to manage talent development as an individual or as an organisation.
This keynote delves into the relentless global permacrisis, underscoring the need for creativity and resilience like never before. It draws from the GLOBE study and impactful stories from street children, revealing how adversity can cultivate vital skills such as flexibility and creative problem-solving. Offering practical, actionable tips, this keynote blends science, social work, and entrepreneurship to empower audiences to transform challenges into opportunities for growth.
Did you know that 150 million young talents are forced to limit themselves to mere survival on the streets, simply because they were born into the wrong context?
Now imagine a street child—abandoned, yet resilient—navigating constant crisis, extreme competition for scarce resources, and a world where uncertainty is the only certainty. And then, imagine what would happen if we gave these survivors the supportive environment they deserve. The impact they could have on society would be extraordinary.
At StreetwiZe, we reinvest all our profits into building and deploying mobile schools—schools on wheels that turn streets and squares into places of empowerment. Places where street youth discover their talents, reclaim their dignity and unlock their full potential.
At StreetwiZe we don’t just train leaders. We are on a mission to build a world where every talent can flourish, … in your company and on the streets.
All profits generated by StreetwiZe are invested in MobileSchool.org to develop the talents of street children worldwide.
