The Limes
Boundary Wall of the Roman Empire
The limes – the northern borderline of the Roman Empire stretched from Britannia to the Black Sea.
In its golden age, the antique global empire comprised an area as large as the United States today. It stretched from Scotland to Sudan and from Spain to the Caucasus.
The Roman army, which counted more than 300,000 men, had to defend a frontier that was approx. 5,000 km long.
But only in the north of the Empire, at the boundary line to Britannia and Germania, the frontier was continuously fortified and extended. What did that mean? Were the powerful Romans actually afraid of their Barbarian neighbours?
What did this border really look like?
And how was this huge borderline actually formed?

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.
