Ängste und Folgen
Jenke von Wilmsdorff wagt ein neues Experiment. Wie fühlt es sich an, alt auszusehen? Wie wird man als Greis behandelt? Dank einer speziellen Maske wird Jenke aussehen wie ein 80-Jähriger. Ein Anzug simuliert das Altsein. Eine Brille vermindert die Sehfähigkeit, Kopfhörer lassen ihn schlechter hören. Bleiweste und Gewichte an Armen und Beinen simulieren den Schwund der Muskelkraft. Der Film zeigt, dass, für uns normale Dinge, ältere Menschen vor eine große Herausforderung stellen. So wird das Überqueren der Fahrbahn bei Grün zu einem Abenteuer, weil die Ampelphasen für Menschen mit Bewegungseinschränkung zu kurz sind. Essen und Trinken werden zu einer Herausforderung, wenn man vom Alterszittern geplagt wird. Auch das Tabuthema Liebe und Sexualität im Alter wird behandelt. Eine Woche lang wir Jenke in ein Altersheim einziehen und den Alltag miterleben. Er lernt Frau Seelbach kennen, die ihm Mut macht und ihm die Angst vor dem Altwerden ein wenig nimmt. Er bekommt die Gewissheit, dass man es in einer solchen Einrichtung durchaus aushalten kann. Gemeinsam mit dem umfangreichen Begleitmaterial im Datenteil ist die DVD bestens zum 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.
Youth Movement
Dancing until your feet hurt: Here, at the meeting on the Hoher Meissner near Kassel, 3,500 participants from Boy Scout associations, youth and Wandervogel groups from all over the German-speaking region have gathered. They want to celebrate, simply get to know each other and commemorate a historic anniversary.
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.
