Clothing
"Clothes Make the Man"
Besides food and shelter, clothing is also one of the basic needs of human beings. Suitable clothing protects against wet, cold or warm conditions, and it also protects us from injuries or burns from the sun. Clothes are also useful because they help us to be able to pursue some jobs or tasks in a better way when wearing them. And finally, the clothes we wear are a sign we set for others. Thus, it is an expression of our personality. We sometimes let clothes speak for us, so to speak. Who we are, how we feel and what group we belong to. Which items does clothing comprise? Firstly, there is underwear: underpants and undershirt. On our feet, we wear socks or stockings. When it is cold, we might wear tights. Over our underwear, we wear a shirt or T-shirt on the upper part of our body. Our legs are covered by trousers. The trousers are supported by a belt or braces.

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.
Inclusion

He likes going to the school where he lives. Here, his best friend sits next to him. Max Dimpflmeier, a teacher who is severely deaf, explains that school life is not easy. Quote Max Dimpflmeier: "You don't want to attract attention, you want to avoid saying that it is necessary for you that 70 people adjust to your situation." People on their way to inclusion.
