Since last summer, the organisation has been supported by the Tomorrowland Foundation.Tomorrowland turned the unique account of Felix and Arnoud into an unforgettable 32-minute documentary that can be viewed from 3 pm on today on all social media from both Tomorrowland and Mobile School.

Arnoud Raskin, founder of Mobile School: “There are more than 150 million street children in the world. These are 150 million unique individuals, each with their own talents that are being wasted. That is a big loss for society! We have to find a different way of looking at those children and young people. We should not simply feel sorry for them, or even worse, ignore them... We give them the feeling that they are part of society and offer them the opportunity to develop their talents. We shouldn't feel sorry for them, or worse, ignore them... We must show them that they are part of society and give them the opportunity to develop their talents. Only in this way can they escape the negative spiral of the street. Thanks to their support through the Tomorrowland Foundation and the creation of this documentary, Tomorrowland is giving us a huge opportunity to send that message around to the world."
Felix de Laet aka Lost Frequencies: “Just like the opening of the music school in Nepal, this experience in Mexico left a deep impression on me. Each of the children I met gave me so much love and received me with open arms. They really inspired me! I am therefore very happy that I can help Mobile School to spread their message.”
