Education

Go Short presents short films as a powerful tool for learning, discovery, and inspiring on a wide range of topics. It is a lesson in observing, experiencing, and understanding. Through stimulating short films, Go Short offers educational programs all year round and for all ages.

We teach children and young people how visual language works. How a film tells a story, how music and atmosphere influence the viewer, and how to develop a critical eye. We engage with filmmakers, asking questions like: What was the creator’s intention? And we reflect together: How does this film affect you?

Go Short for Primary schools

Especially for primary education, we offer educational programs featuring short documentaries, animations, and fiction films. Our selection is tailored to different grade levels: lower grades (groups 1-2), middle grades (groups 3-6), and upper grades (groups 7-8). Additionally, we provide a specially curated program for group 8. On request, we also offer school screenings and educational programs focused on theme weeks or specific school subjects. These can be enriched or prepared with our additional (online) teaching materials.

Go Short for high schools

With our programs for high school students, we challenge young people to look beyond the screen. With thought-provoking short films and great stories, they learn to understand visual language and begin to see the world through new eyes. From themes like (in)equality to current topics that align with lesson plans or theme weeks such as war and freedom, gender and sexuality, or climate change. In addition to our school screenings, we also offer tailored film projects created for and by students. These are always seamlessly aligned with what's happening in the classroom.

Go Short for mbo/hbo/wo students

Go Short collaborates with vocational, higher professional, and university programs to connect short film to education in a meaningful and inspiring way. Through film programs and in-depth activities, we can offer social insights or theoretical reflection. We collaborate with you to create programs tailored to a specific program, project, or theme.

Can I use the CJP budget for Go Short's educational programs?

Yes! Go Short accepts the CJP Culture Card.

Can programs be tailored to specific themes or lessons?

Yes! We offer programs that align with theme weeks or specific subjects at school. Feel free to get in touch to discuss the possibilities.

What does the post-screening discussion with a filmmaker or crew member involve?

After the film, there will be a discussion between the students and the filmmaker or a crew member, led by a Go Short moderator. This encourages students to interpret the films they've seen, view them critically, and learn from them.

Where do the educational programs take place?

The school screenings take place at the LUX cinema in Nijmegen.

I have my own plan for a school screening, is that possible?

Certainly! We are open to your ideas and are happy to think along with you.Please get in touch with us to discuss the possibilities.
