Stichting Education Warehouse

What Stichting Education Warehouse does

Stichting Education Warehouse is a Dutch non-profit foundation (ANBI status) founded in 2018 and headquartered in Assen, Netherlands, with approximately 26 employees. Its mission is to collect, structure, and disseminate educational information and practice stories across the Dutch education sector, serving schools, schoolbesturen (school networks), municipalities, and educational partners. The foundation operates as an open-knowledge intermediary rather than a commercial vendor.

Its core products include the Praktijkverhalen Database (a corpus of roughly 1,500 practice stories from Dutch schools), the Aanbod Database of educational offerings, regionally branded platforms for municipalities including Leiden and Zoetermeer (with the network covering approximately 50 regional collaborations), and the Open Keuzecatalogus Leermiddelen co-developed with SIVON. The technology stack is open-source-first: Python, PostgreSQL, HTMX, Docker, Odoo for operations, and Apache Superset for dashboards. Content is published under Creative Commons (CC-BY-SA) licensing, reinforcing the foundation's open-knowledge positioning.

Revenue mechanics are non-commercial and project-based. Income is derived from project fees, Dutch government subsidies, and donations/gifts, with no profit motive under ANBI rules. Customer segments span primary and secondary schools, school networks, municipalities, and sector partners including SIVON (school IT cooperative), MIND Us, and CoE Groen. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward institutional partnerships and a research agenda, signaled by the 2024 SIVON partnership, the 2025 research initiative with MIND Us and CoE Groen, and the 2022 public campaign "We moeten het hebben over leermiddelen."

Core offering

Stichting Education Warehouse collects and shares educational knowledge in the Netherlands through two interconnected databases: one gathering practice stories (Praktijkverhalen) from school teams and one gathering all offerings (Aanbod) available to school teams. On top of these databases, the organization co-develops regional and thematic platforms, dashboards, and a public learning-materials catalog with partners such as educational networks, municipalities and SIVON, distributing content directly through partner websites rather than operating standalone consumer channels.

Product overview

Stichting Education Warehouse operates a platform architecture built on two interconnected core databases: one collecting practice stories from school teams (Praktijkverhalen Database) and one collecting all educational offerings for school teams (Aanbod Database). On top of these databases, the organization develops regional and thematic platforms (Onderwijs in de Leidse regio, Gelijke kansen in de klas, Rijke leeromgeving Zoetermeer, and the Open Keuzecatalogus Leermiddelen), data dashboards (Kindcentrumontwikkeling Dashboard, Aanbod voor scholen in de Leidse regio Dashboard via Superset), and the De Daad van het Onderwijs storytelling initiative. Content is also distributed through the Delen.meteddie.nl sharing platform, which delivers tailored information via partner websites including Leren voor morgen, Groeikracht in Onderwijs, and Netwerk kindcentra. The organization functions as an Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI) and learning company, prioritizing open source and open data principles.
