Integrated Outreach Solution

The integrated outreach methodology

Looking for tools to take your street work to the next level? StreetSmart Wheels offers your organisation a mobile school - which is a transportable blackboard on wheels - street-proof educational materials, digital technology and hands-on training and coaching to make your team more efficient in building trust and empowering young people on the streets.

Street Safe Learning

The street as a safe learning space

Pull the mobile school onto the street, slide it open in seconds and turn any street into a positive and attractive learning environment. Move your blackboard on wheels to different target areas within the city to maximise your impact on communities and street-connected youth.

Wide Range of Educational Materials

Wide range of educational materials

No hardware without software. Tweak the content of your mobile school with over 260 street proof educational panels you can attach to the boards. All materials are adapted to the reality of the streets and with a wide range of street-related topics such as entrepreneurship, health, basic literacy and sports, there is definitely something for everyone!

Continuous Coaching and Support

What's included?

Discover the features of our StreetSmart Wheels partnership

Transportable blackboard on wheels

Our mobile school is a moveable educational outreach tool. Pull the box to your target area, park it on a pavement or in an open space, slide open the telescopic boxes and enjoy no less than 12 metres of educational space right where you need it.

Street proof materials

All the components of the mobile school are fully adapted to the rough reality of the streets. Thanks to the weather resistant, stainless and theft-proof materials, no terrain is inaccessible to your creative street work interventions.

Innovative game mechanics

Who said learning isn’t fun? Our innovative game mechanics such as the rotation disc, the sliding door system or the puppetry window ensure children will learn in a playful environment. On top of that, our built-in self-control systems allow children to learn independently at their own pace, so street educators can welcome a large group of kids. With 260+ colourful and attractive educational panels, you’ll never run out of inspiration!

Adapted to your local context

Of course, children need to be able to relate to the educational content. Therefore, all materials are translated into the dominant local language and are visually adapted to the culture of the country you work in.

Educational inspiration via StreetSmart Play

Out of inspiration, or not sure how to play a specific game? On our StreetSmart Play platform, online manuals and new game ideas are constantly available. Upload new games yourself and share best practices to inspire colleagues worldwide.

Impact measurement with StreetSmart Impact

Bye bye administrative hassle, thanks to StreetSmart Impact! Use the smartphone application to plan sessions, track attendance and set goals with individual children. Then, go to the website to easily generate reports to monitor the impact of your work.

Hands-on training modules

Join our regular on-site training and coaching modules to keep your team motivated and ready to hit the streets. Besides covering the practical use of the StreetSmart Wheels tools, these trainings turn your street educators into a close-knit team. A StreetSmart Wheels partnership coordinator is available throughout the partnership to offer support and answer questions when needed.

Testimonials & Projects

More than 60 StreetSmart Wheels projects worldwide

"A highlight for me was watching a young man, aged 22, whom I have known for almost ten years, walk around the 12 metres of blackboard and engage in every single activity. Each time he completed an exercise, he would come to me and take me to the board to show me what he had achieved. It was a very special moment that cemented just what can be achieved with our mobile school!"

"The mobile school is a great pedagogical instrument to work in the street. On top of the actual work we do with the children, we have an extraordinary tool to gain access in a new community, enhancing our intervention and reducing the time we would otherwise need to be able to form a trustworthy relation with the community."

“The mobile school is where words keep quiet, because it is necessary to listen. Listen to the lives that are lived in looks, silences, gestures and moments that are as simple as they are extraordinary.”

"Being able to bring mobile school to Sri Lanka has been one of the best decisions I've made for 2020! During these times when children lost education and school thanks to the mobile school they gained self-esteem, confidence and knowledge. Not just the kids but the educators too!”
