Rome
Capital of Italy
On the Tiber, in the centre of Italy, there lies the Italian capital of Rome. The “Eternal City” as it was called by the poet Tibullus more than 2,000 years ago, is located on a plain between the foothills of the Apennine and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Rome is a multifarious city with a history that dates back thousands of years. It was the core of the huge Roman Empire, the heart of Catholic Christianity and is the capital of Italy today. Even today, the Pope still has his pontifical residence in the Vatican City State, the smallest state in the world. Over its long history, Rome has experienced eras of growth, prosperity and decline and is shaken by crises again today. But there is one thing Rome has not lost – its very special magic. The DVD is also in italian language and could therefore excellentely be used in italian lessons.

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.
Pupils Practise Inclusion
When people come together, no matter under what concomitant circumstances – ultimately, it is about how these people meet and how openly they interact with one another.
