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?

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.
Rights and Obligations
Three girls of different ages: Anna is 17, Paula 15 and Lena 13. Before the law, their respective ages have consequences – because children and adolescents have different rights and also obligations.
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.
