The Flagbag

ABOUT THE FLAGBAG

What is the difference between the Flagbag and the Mobile School?

The Flagbag and the Mobile School are both StreetSmart tools designed to bring educational activities to children and young people in vulnerable contexts, but they differ in their content and logistical requirements. With the Flagbag, you can choose the flags you need from a selection of 50 flags covering 7 topics, then head to your location and set up and engaging session in a few minutes, both indoors or outdoors. The Flagbag’s lower threshold makes it accessible to smaller organisations with limited logistical resources, allowing to reach target groups in a wider variety of settings. The Mobile School is a larger, vehicle-mounted setup that brings a full educational space on wheels, with over 280 panels and activities, suited for higher-volume outreach and outdoor sessions. Both tools are rooted in the same StreetSmart methodology and can complement each other, our partners can start with the Flagbag and expand their offer over time.

What is included in the Flagbag offer?

The Flagbag offer includes the full package of 50 educational flags, organised around 7 key topics, along with digital game manuals and a set of practical tools to set up your learning space. As a Flagbag partner, you also get access to our digital resources: StreetSmart Play to find games and activities for your target group, StreetSmart Learn to deepen your team’s knowledge through interactive training programmes, and StreetSmart Impact to track your activities and follow up on your sessions’ progress. StreetSmart invests directly in the production and translation of the materials to your local context, in the transportation costs, and in the full on-site training programme – including content, methodology, facilitators and their travel and accommodation expenses.

Can I choose which flags I want to receive?

StreetSmart Flagbag partners always receive the full package of 50 educational flags. The Flagbag is designed as a complete educational tool, and the variety of topics and activities is what makes it effective across different contexts and groups.

Can I receive more flags?

The Flagbag comes as a fixed package and cannot be supplemented with additional flags. The 50 flags cover 7 key topics and are designed to work together as a comprehensive educational offer. You can, however, expand your sessions in a do-it-yourself way by adding your own methods and materials, or by using the activity inspiration on StreetSmart Play.

PARTNERSHIP & ELIGIBILITY

Can I buy a Flagbag?

No, it’s not possible to buy a Flagbag. StreetSmart collaborates with existing local organisations that offer educational activities to children and young people in vulnerable contexts. We work through a selection and partnership procedure to ensure long-term, sustainable use (multiple interventions per week). When a partnership is approved and funding is available, StreetSmart invests directly in the production, delivery and on-site training costs. Our local partners cover the day-to-day operational costs.

Want to help make a Flagbag partnership possible? Individuals, companies and foundations can support us in raising the funding— for example by adopting a Flagbag project—so we can invest in new partnerships and reach more children worldwide.

Do I need to work for an organisation to apply for a Flagbag?

Yes. To guarantee sustainability and accountability, applications need to come from a registered organisation (legal entity) with the capacity to run the Flagbag on a regular basis (e.g., at least two paid staff members). It’s also important for us to be in direct contact with the youth professionals who will implement the tools with children and young people.

Are you applying as an individual? Feel free to put us in touch with a local organisation that works with children and young people in vulnerable contexts. In the meantime, you can already get started with our free resources in the Toolkit section and explore our digital platforms (StreetSmart Play and StreetSmart Learn) for activities and training.

What are the selection criteria to become a Flagbag partner?

All the Flagbag partners run at least 100 sessions per year with the Flagbag to guarantee social impact. Local partners are responsible to have paid youth professionals to conduct the sessions. Moreover, all of our partners use our StreetSmart digital tools to plan educational activities, to train their staff and to measure their impact. During the application phase a StreetSmart partnership coordinator will make an evaluation together with the applying organisation, taking into account all these criteria, before making a final decision to start up a partnership. More information on our partnership can be found here.

Moreover, cultural adaptations are made depending on the continent and region where the local partner will use the materials to ensure the highest possible impact on the streets.

Who is responsible for the production of the mobile school?

The mobile school carts are produced by the teachers and students of the Provincial Secondary School in Bilzen (PSSB). This way, the students have a direct impact on street-connected young people worldwide. Learn more about the school and their production site in this video.

TOPICS, PROGRAMMES, COURSES

What’s the difference between topics, programmes and courses?

StreetSmart Learn offers training content on several topics. For each of the topics offered, you can find several training programmes. A programme is a longer learning track, constructed from smaller learning units, which we call courses. A course has only one learning objective and takes around 20 minutes to complete. Check out the following example for clarification:

How do I find interesting programmes or courses?

To find a programme of course, you can …

  • Use the search bar on the homepage. Just type a word in the search bar and the platform will suggest some courses and programmes.
  • Explore courses by topic on the homepage. All programmes or courses of a specific topic will appear.
  • Use the tabs ‘courses’ and ‘programs’ to find courses or programmes. Here, you can also use the filter function, where you can filter on organisation, topic and language.
How do I enroll in a programme or course?

Found a programme or course on StreetSmart Learn you are interested to follow? Make sure to enroll.

  • Enrolling in a course is easy. On the course page, click on ‘view course’. Now you will land on an overview page of the course, where you can see the different modules. At the top you will see: ‘Enroll now to access the full course.’ Click here. Once enrolled, the course will appear on your StreetSmart Learn Dashboard.
  • By enrolling in a programme, you enroll in all the courses of the programme at the same time. Click on the programme you want to follow and then click on the yellow button: ‘view programme progress’. Now you are enrolled in all courses of the programme.
How long does it take to complete a programme?

StreetSmart Learn uses the principles of microlearning. That’s why programmes are split up into shorter, manageable courses that take around 20 minutes. The estimated duration of each course can be found on the course pages and on the course tiles. The estimated duration of a complete programme is also visible on the programme tiles and on the programme page.

How long do I have to finish a programme/course? Is there a due date once I start?

On each course page, there’s an estimated duration of the course. However, there’s no due date to finish the programme or course once you start. This way everyone can progress at their own pace.

Is there a particular order in which I must follow the courses?

There are no restrictions or obligations, you can follow every course separately, but it’s recommended to follow the courses of one programme in sequence. The recommended sequence is displayed on the programme page.

When is my course marked as completed? Where can I track my course activity?

When you arrive at the end of the course, we ask you to share if you would recommend this course. Once completed, you land on the progress page of your course, where you can request a certificate. You can view your certificate by clicking the link.

You can also go to your dashboard and look for the course you just completed. There you can find a link to the related programme. If you click on this related programme, you can check your programme progress and see what courses you already completed, which ones are remaining and which ones are in progress.

Why these topics?

We love toThe topics are chosen based on a survey with youth workers worldwide and based on our own expertise. Of course, this is not everything we have.
