Contraception
Love and Responsibility
In view of a considerable number of teenage pregnancies and commencement of sexual activities at an average age of 15, the topic of contraception is extremely important in lower secondary school. This DVD offers a complete film as well as working materi- al that allows for a discussion of the topic according to the requirements of the respective type of school as well as to the socio-cultural circumstances. Apart from the film itself, which outlines the most important contraceptive methods, selected animations can be accessed via the menu. They illustrate complex content such as a woman’s cycle, structure and function of the male sexual organs and the effects of different contraceptives in terms understandable to pupils. The film is suitable for an entire series of lessons, with the teachers deciding themselves on the basis of the menu struc- ture what content is appropriate for a class.

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.
