What can street children teach you about Management, Leadership, Innovation, Creativity, Communication, Teaming and Sales?

Kudos for Dutch social entrepreneur Arnoud Raskin who has had the idea of starting a mobile school for homeless children.



Building on an academic background in industrial design and cultural studies, Arnoud Raskin took his inspiration from the time he was a social worker in Columbia to think about an educational project that could help homeless children. Because the classical learning methods were obviously not working for socially challenged groups of people, particularly youngsters, Arnoud Raskin thought about a school that is tailored to meet their needs. So he invented a telescopic blackboard, over 250 educational games and a mobile means of transporting all these. Then he reinvented a teacher who is able to use them properly. Now, the mobile school is present in over 30 places all over Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
