Pineapple
Queen of Fruits
Fruit is a multi-faceted gift of nature. Almost no other food is available to us in such a variety. It tastes good, is healthy and can mostly be eaten raw. However, it should be well washed before or even peeled, depending on the variety. The term “fruit” is understood to mean fruits from trees and shrubs. Fruits contain besides a mostly rather high amount of water a great number of vitamins and minerals. A lot of fruit grows here in Central Europe, in Germany or Austria. Among these so-called “domestic“ fruits are apples, pears, strawberries and blueberries. They mostly ripen in autumn. Citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges and tangerines do not grow around here as they require a lot of sunlight and heat for their growth. They are imported to us by lorry mostly from countries around the Mediterranean such as Spain, Italy and Greece. Exotic fruits like pineapples and bananas need a tropical climate with a lot of heat, sunshine and water. Due to modern means of transport, these widely travelled varieties of fruit are meanwhile available in every supermarket throughout the whole year.

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.
Tolerance
“Tolerance means being generous and kind to other people and helping them, too.”
