THE DIVE DEEP PROGRAMME
For many organisations it is a complex process to find the right balance between normal business operations and adjustments aimed at inclusion and disability. It requires a long-term and sincere commitment from you and your organisation.
To take impactful steps in this matter, Break Free Academy offers three different innovative and interactive forms of training. Starting point is the reviting short film DIVE DEEP, produced by Break Free Films. The film focuses on themes that talk about mental health and intimacy, but above all about how to cope with disability. Our Inclusion Trajectory, Training Day or Inspiration Session offer practical tools to create a deeper understanding of these issues surrounding disability, and will promote inclusivity within your organisation.
All our training programmes are offered by a team of skilled professionals who have a personal commitment to break the stigmas surrounding disability.
EXPERT TRAINERS
All of our trainers have been closely involved in the realization of DIVE DEEP. In addition to the filmmakers, Andries Hiskes PhD, an expert in social inclusion and senior lecturer at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, will also be conducting the training sessions. This presents a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts in the field of inclusion and disability management. Our trainers bring their extensive knowledge and experience to your organisation, focusing on the tangible lessons from the film. Through their personal stories and years of experience, they are dedicated to preparing your organisation for a more inclusive future.

Do you want to be fully immersed in all facets of social inclusion within your organisation? In our Inclusion Trajectory, a short inspiration session will be followed by an immersive, full training day. The inspiration session will be suitable as a starting point to start thinking about concrete steps that can be taken in the field of inclusivity. After about two weeks we will elaborate on these steps during the training day. Together with your team, we will work on the specific challenges or questions your organisation may have when it comes to inclusivity and diversity. After following this in-depth Inclusion Trajectory, the participants will become aware of the importance of inclusion within the organisation and within their own lives.
INCLUSION TRAJECTORY
TRAINING DAY
Want to get acquainted with issues surrounding inclusivity within your organisation in one day? During our Training Day we jointly map out where your organisation stands in the field of inclusion, and what thoughts, experiences and wishes exist among your team. We look at the steps that can be taken and together we develop practical tools that can immediately be deployed within the various layers of your organisation.
EDUCATION PROGRAMME
We have also developed an educational programme for senior school students (VO), MBO and students attending higher education programmes (HBO).
This allows the new generation to start in the workforce in an inclusive manner right away.
The package helps develop awareness around social inclusion, diversity, and unconscious biases, inspired by the short film Dive Deep.
