Doc-Pro panel discussions
Panel discussions are held at the festival each year and generally cover topics of interest for the professional audience. Topics include documentary film production and co-production, alternative distribution models, impact strategies and gender issues in the filmmaking industry. Discussions are also open to the public and can be visited free of charge.

Masterclass
During the festival, masterclasses are organized at the campus of the Central European University, aimed at industry professionals including filmmakers, organizers, critics, distributors, film students, and the general public. Masterclasses in previous years were held by internationally known documentary film professionals such as Bill Morrison, Askold Kurov, Peter Kerekes, Nenad Puhovski, and Tue Steen Müller.

Student Verzió
Verzió organizes free screenings and follow-up discussions for high school groups during the annual Festival since 2004. The screenings are attended by over 1,200 students yearly.

UniVerzió
In 2018, Verzió established a cooperation with universities in Budapest. The UniVerzió program offers students of film studies and related fields an opportunity to be a part of the festival not only as visitors, but as active contributors as well. Students deepen their knowledge about documentary films in the frame of university classes by engaging with various aspects of Verzió from critically analyzing the documentary and its representational modes to highlighting the films' topics by graphic design, or moderating Q&As.

Cooperation partners include the Budapest Metropolitan University (METU) and the Faculty of Humanities of the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE BTK).
