Brandenburg
The Federal States of Germany
The federal state of Brandenburg is located in eastern Germany and encloses the federal capital Berlin in its centre.
Brandenburg is one of the five new federal states and not only the largest of them but also the federal state with the most inland waters.
The current state capital Potsdam used to be residence and garrison town of Prussian kings. Its historical and art-historical significance is acknowledged today as a UNESCO world heritage site.
The federal state of Brandenburg plays a major part for local recreation in the capital region Berlin-Brandenburg, but chances of economic growth are quite limited in spite of the highly attractive city of Berlin.

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.
The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
