Alexander
Explorer and Conqueror
Without doubt, after Alexander the Great, the world was not the same as before.
During his reign of only elven years, he founded the largest world empire in the history of antiquity.
He conquered Asia Minor, Egypt and Persia and advanced as far as India.
Due to his conquests, the Greek and oriental cultures blended into Hellenism, which shaped the ancient world for more than 300 years.
Alexander was one of the most important commanders and statesmen in history. An impressive personality with a strong will.
He risked his own life in battles and was a model of courage and vigour for his soldiers.
He could be generous towards his minions and adversaries, but also very cruel.
He was intent on expanding Greek civilisation to the end of the known world.
But who was the real Alexander, subject of numerous legends?

Stalking
n Germany, 12 % of all federal citizens are pursued by a stalker once in their lives. And not only celebrities are among their victims! Everyone may be confronted with such a situation.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
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.
