Each year, approximately ten thousand high school and college students visit the IDFA school programs to discover creative documentaries with impact. The films are offered in combination with post-screening discussions and digital teaching materials for the classroom. Together with schools and other education organisations we bring new perspectives, and improve citizenship and media literacy.
