Ängste und Folgen
Jenke von Wilmsdorff wagt ein neues Experiment. Wie fühlt es sich an, alt auszusehen? Wie wird man als Greis behandelt? Dank einer speziellen Maske wird Jenke aussehen wie ein 80-Jähriger. Ein Anzug simuliert das Altsein. Eine Brille vermindert die Sehfähigkeit, Kopfhörer lassen ihn schlechter hören. Bleiweste und Gewichte an Armen und Beinen simulieren den Schwund der Muskelkraft. Der Film zeigt, dass, für uns normale Dinge, ältere Menschen vor eine große Herausforderung stellen. So wird das Überqueren der Fahrbahn bei Grün zu einem Abenteuer, weil die Ampelphasen für Menschen mit Bewegungseinschränkung zu kurz sind. Essen und Trinken werden zu einer Herausforderung, wenn man vom Alterszittern geplagt wird. Auch das Tabuthema Liebe und Sexualität im Alter wird behandelt. Eine Woche lang wir Jenke in ein Altersheim einziehen und den Alltag miterleben. Er lernt Frau Seelbach kennen, die ihm Mut macht und ihm die Angst vor dem Altwerden ein wenig nimmt. Er bekommt die Gewissheit, dass man es in einer solchen Einrichtung durchaus aushalten kann. Gemeinsam mit dem umfangreichen Begleitmaterial im Datenteil ist die DVD bestens zum Einsatz im Unterricht geeignet.

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
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
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.
