Franks
Empire in the Early Middle Ages
The Franks presumably arose from various western Germanic tribes originally living between the Rhine and Weser rivers. In the beginning, they were not a unified tribe yet but consisted of several bands under their own leaders. Since the middle of the 3rd century some of them attacked the Imperium Romanum, the large Roman Empire. In Late Antiquity, the Roman Empire was already weakened by domestic strife and since 395 it was divided into the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. While East Rome continued to exist as the Byzantine Empire, the West Germanic tribes contributed to the final fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 by their conquests during the time of the so-called Great Migration. Also in the Roman province referred to as Gaul by the Romans, large Germanic tribes established themselves, among them Western Goths, Burgundians and Alemanni as well as Franks, and created their own small realms.

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.
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.
