Through our collaboration with StreetWiZe, we provide employees and leaders with purpose-driven learning experiences that strengthen their development and amplify our positive impact. These trainings reinforce our commitment to helping all students reach their full potential, while StreetWize develops game-changing tools for youth workers to enable them to unlock the potential of street-connected children worldwide.
All StreetWiZe profits from the training programmes directly supports the good cause, and the co-created materials are now available on their platform for youth workers around the world.
Leadership training across Europe
More than 80 leaders from across Sanoma Learning participated in our leadership training programme to explore how to navigate an ever-changing environment with clarity, innovation, and purpose. Arnoud Raskin, founder of StreetWiZe and Mobile School, delivered a powerful keynote connected to our purpose and translated lessons from the street into leadership insights—highlighting customer focus, adaptability, and the importance of staying connected to the people we serve.
Out of Context, Out of Comfort talent program
In 2025, we launched our annual talent programme. Fifteen colleagues from across Europe stepped outside their usual environments to take part in a highly experiential training programme ‘Out of Context, Out of Comfort’. Set in an asylum seekers centre, this three-day programme challenged participants to co-create educational tools for StreetWiZe. What made this programme truly transformative was the genuine collaboration with refugees. Using the Design Thinking methodology participants and refugees worked in teams to understand the needs of children in vulnerable contexts. Together they developed and tested educational games and tools that could be used in the field.
Participants returned with new skills, but even more importantly, with a renewed sense of purpose—reminded that meaningful impact starts with empathy, collaboration, and listening deeply to those we aim to serve.
Purpose as your compass, Arnoud Raskin’s keynote
During Share Views Week, our annual internal event, all employees were invited to a keynote by Arnoud Raskin. He shared his journey from design student to global changemaker, showing how a strong sense of purpose can guide everyday decisions, leadership, teamwork, and spark innovation. His story encouraged us to embrace empathy, vulnerability, and self-awareness to drive positive change.
Together, we translate purpose into action, driven by the belief in the power of education to change lives.
