What Is Jazz?
History and Music Genres
Lucia Martinez: “Jazz is spontaneity, technique and listening.” Lorenzo Panico: “Sax, live instruments and great people!” Bill Evans: “Innovation, creativity, future.” Boy: “Beautiful music, and above all, music that is pretty much based on improvisation ...” Teacher: “Spontaneously I must say Nazis – I’m sorry – because it was forbidden back then, Afro-Americans … and mathematics teachers.” Helmut Bruger: “Jazz is music, a language ... and fun!” Man: “... the attempt to play music out of the moment. This encompasses improvisation, and also reacting to the audience, to the atmosphere. Technically, you should mainly play without notes. Of course, all musicians have their schemes in their heads or maybe even before their eyes but on principle, it is making music on the spur of the moment. Also, to some extent, for me the jazz language is also part of jazz, of course. This goes somewhat into a theoretical direction. This means certain chords play a part and I think that swing, for example, has a strong influence on jazz. And swing is articulated and played in a different way than, for instance classical music.”

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.
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.
