THE DIVE DEEP EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME
The Dive Deep Educational Programme is a digital learning pathway that helps students develop awareness around social inclusion, diversity, and unconscious biases. The programme is inspired by the short film Dive Deep, which centers on the story of Storm, an 18-year-old skater with cerebral palsy.
Students learn to reflect on their own behavior and think critically about inclusion in their study and future workplace.
The Dive Deep curriculum has been developed by a team of experienced (higher education) teachers, filmmakers, and experts with lived experience, with the support of Dr. Andries Hiskes PhD, a leading expert in the field of social inclusion.
AFTER THE PROGRAMME…
-
students gain insight into their own biases and receive concrete tools to recognize and challenge them.
​
-
they understand what social inclusion entails and how they can apply it in their own environment.
​

The Dive Deep educational programme consists of three modules in an online environment. Additionally, there is an option for an in-person adaptation of the programme.
This digital programme offers an accessible, reflective learning experience in which students are encouraged to reconsider their own perspectives and behavior through the themes and characters from Dive Deep.
Upon completing all modules, students receive the Dive Deep Inclusion Certificate, bearing the seal of Break Free Academy and the Inclusive Film Foundation.
