Major EU Project
Brenner Base Tunnel
The Brenner Base Tunnel and the New Brenner Railway are a project of the Trans-European Networks – in short, TEN. The aim is to connect European countries optimally and to contribute to a more environmental-friendly and efficient organisation of traffic. The transportation of cargo is to be shifted to the railway and public passenger transportation is to become more attractive. The TEN Axis No. 1 runs from Berlin to Palermo. The Brenner Base Tunnel between Innsbruck and Franzensfeste is the core element of the entire TEN Axis 1. With impressive pictures and the aid of interviews with experts, the film – starting with the current traffic situation at the Brenner, which is disproportionately divided – steers us right into the Brenner Base Tunnel. Its construction engineering is described as well as the measures taken for environmental protection and tunnel safety. An outlook on the future use and benefits of the BBT shows the viewer how the alpine region between Munich and Verona embarks upon the “mobility of tomorrow”.

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.
Pupils Practise Inclusion
When people come together, no matter under what concomitant circumstances – ultimately, it is about how these people meet and how openly they interact with one another.
