Berlin
Die Bundesländer
Berlin ist Bundesland und Hauptstadt der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zugleich. Der Film stellt die schillernde Metropole in ihrer Geschichte, geographischen Lage und politischen Bedeutung vor. Berlin ist eine der jüngsten Städte Europas, die Gründung fällt erst in das Hochmittelalter; die Entwicklung über die Anfänge im Dorf Cölln zur Hauptstadt erst Preußens, später dann des Deutschen Kaiserreichs bis hin zur Hauptstadt der Bundesrepublik ist der Inhalt eines eigenen Kapitels. Die wirtschaftliche Herausforderung, die das Ende des Kalten Krieges für die Stadt bedeutete und bedeutet, wird ebenso dargestellt wie die Chancen, die sich für Stadt einzig durch die Lage an einer wichtigen Ost-West-Verbindung ergeben. In Verbindung mit dem umfangreichen Zusatzmaterial (klassische und interaktive Arbeitsblätter, Glossar, Testfragen) ist die vorliegende DVD hervorragend für den Einsatz im Unterricht geeignet.

Rights and Obligations
Three girls of different ages: Anna is 17, Paula 15 and Lena 13. Before the law, their respective ages have consequences – because children and adolescents have different rights and also obligations.
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.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
