Rome
Capital of Italy
On the Tiber, in the centre of Italy, there lies the Italian capital of Rome. The “Eternal City” as it was called by the poet Tibullus more than 2,000 years ago, is located on a plain between the foothills of the Apennine and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Rome is a multifarious city with a history that dates back thousands of years. It was the core of the huge Roman Empire, the heart of Catholic Christianity and is the capital of Italy today. Even today, the Pope still has his pontifical residence in the Vatican City State, the smallest state in the world.
Over its long history, Rome has experienced eras of growth, prosperity and decline and is shaken by crises again today. But there is one thing Rome has not lost – its very special magic.
The DVD is also in italian language and could therefore excellentely be used in italian lessons.

Mobile Learning II
Oh, what’s that? Original soundtrack Thissen: “As our children grow up in a media world and naturally handle the media, they should also be a topic in school.“ An older child says the point is that they don’t just load down apps but create things themselves that haven’t existed so far. Hi, I’m Jana. A propeller hat. I’ll put it on. Now I’m no longer a simple rhino, but a flying rhino. Original soundtrack Thissen: “It’s exactly the great flexibility of tablets that promotes very personalised and adapted learning.” Original soundtrack Welzel: “It’s fascinating to see how the children grow with their products and how they always want to improve them.” The Westminster Abbey is a church in London for the royal family. Original soundtrack Welzel: “And?“ They think it is ok.
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.
