Werden Dicke diskriminiert?
Becky Pfleger erzählt: „Das Schlimmste, was ich je erlebt habe? … Ich wurde in der Bahn von einem Opa angeschrien: ‘Euch Dicke hätte man vergasen sollen wie die Juden damals!‘ “
Der Film begleitet drei übergewichtige Frauen in ihrem Alltag. Auf das Gewicht reduziert zu werden, im Alltag angestarrt und beschimpft zu werden, ist für sie harte Realität.
Es wird gezeigt, was Diskriminierung von „Dicken“ bedeutet. Der Film geht auch der Frage nach, ob Dicksein ausschließlich eine Frage der Selbstdisziplin ist.
Prof. Achim Peters, Adipositas-Spezialist sagt hierzu: „Das Dicksein hat nicht die Ursache der Willenlosigkeit, sondern der Energiebedarf des Gehirns spielt hier die entscheidende Rolle.“
Oft ist es so, dass dicke Menschen, wenn sie Stress haben, vom Gehirn den Befehl bekommen, noch mehr zu essen! Und genau da liegt das Problem: Wer dick ist, wird diskriminiert, hat somit Stress … und nimmt zu. Ein Teufelskreis!
Gemeinsam mit dem umfangreichen Unterrichtsmaterial ist der Film sehr gut zum Einsatz im Schulunterricht geeignet.

Peer Mediation
Lena and Max attend the 7th form. Max is new in class. During a break, Max notices that Lena and her friend are laughing at him again. Max loses his temper! He slaps Lena in the face. That hurts and Lena runs back into the classroom with a red cheek. The growing conflict between the two has escalated. Just like Lena and Max, every day pupils all over Germany have rows with each other. At the Heinrich Hertz Gymnasium in Thuringia, pupils have been trained as mediators for years. At set hours, they are in a room made available by the school specifically for mediation purposes. The film describes the growing conflict between Max and Lena and shows a mediation using their example. In doing so, the terms “conflict” and “peer mediation” are explained in a non-technical way. The aims of peer mediation and its progress in five steps as well as the mediators’ tasks are illustrated. The art of asking questions and “mirroring”, which the mediators must know, is described and explained. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is a suitable medium to introduce peer mediation at your school, too.
Podcasting
Today, the use of new media has become a matter of course not only in everyday life – schools and teaching, too, benefit from the new technologies and methods, which support active and independent learning. Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it. The film informs on the functionality of podcasts and technical background as well as on the teaching and learning possibilities offered by podcasts – ranging from specific contents to superordinate learning targets such as the advancement of creativity and team spirit.
