3. The Mobile School-Streetwize story (14:10 - 15:00)

Bram Doolaege – Visiting Professor UGent-VUB, founding partner Streetwize-Mobile School, fan of Motörhead

Bram is a professional optimist fascinated by the fact that most organizational and personal changes do fail. This curiosity is driving Bram in a search for no nonsense answers in evidence-based management as a lector in the field of change management, communication and leadership at the University of Ghent. But you know what they say about teachers, if you can’t do it… teach it.

Therefore, Bram engaged in the Mobile School an organization that reaches out to street children for whom change really matters. Using a unique approach, the Mobile School not only educates children (healthcare, social skills) but foremost the school wants to help street children to reconnect with their talents and strengths. To make this possible Streetwize was founded. StreetwiZe is a hybrid social enterprise that invests in the sustainable development of people, organizations and society, inspired by the strength of street connected children & youth. All profits of StreetwiZe fund the Mobile School projects for the street children.    

4. Diversity in a nutshell: super-diversity and its impact on care (15:00 - 15:50)

Stéphanie De Maesschalck - Visiting Professor of ‘Diversity in health care’ at Ghent University, Department of Public Health and Primary Care.

Working in both the academic/teaching area and in primary care for many years has given me the great opportunity to curiously explore diversity in both fields and take the experiences from one field into another in both directions, in a sort of cross-fertilization. In this interactive talk, we will examine together, through some real-life experiences and exercises, what it means to use an international approach to health and healthcare, and how you can apply this perspective in your daily life and in your future life as healthcare provider.
