Der Tod gehört zum Leben
Umgang mit dem Sterben
Es gibt wohl kaum einen Aspekt unseres Lebens, der ähnlich eng mit ihm verknüpft ist, den wir aber dennoch gerne so weit wie möglich von uns weisen: den Tod. Die Konfrontation mit der eigenen Sterblichkeit – oder der von Menschen, die uns nahestehen – wird häufig als unangenehm empfunden. Und doch müssen wir uns ihr stellen, früher oder später. Der Journalist und Schauspieler Jenke von Wilmsdorff besucht zu diesem Zweck die Bewohner eines Hospiz, um mit ihnen und den Angehörigen über ihren Umgang mit dem Thema Tod zu sprechen. Er erfährt etwas über deren früheres Leben sowie über den Leidensweg, der sie schließlich dazu bewegt hat, sich dem Hospiz anzuvertrauen. Wichtig ist den Betroffenen dabei nicht so sehr die bloße Anzahl ihrer verbliebenen Tage, sondern sie tragen den Wunsch, die restliche Zeit lebenswert zu verbringen und mit Würde aus dem Leben zu scheiden. Des Weiteren besucht Jenke Menschen, die dem Tod gerade so entkommen sind, also eine sogenannte Nahtoderfahrung erlebt haben. Gemeinsam mit dem umfangreichen Unterrichtsmaterial (klassische und interaktive Arbeitsblätter, Testaufgaben, Lehrtexte etc.) ist der Film sehr gut für den Einsatz im Unterricht 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.
Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
