Development of Space Travel
The conquest of a new world: the first satellite, the first man in space, the first steps on the moon – pictures we all know. But the triumph of space travel holds hidden secrets. The military projects appear to come from Hollywood films like “Star Wars”. For years the Soviets and the Americans have exploded nuclear bombs in outer space, tested killer satellites and planned military interventions from space. Behind the scenes, such dangerous experiments with the aim of military space control are still conducted today. Documents kept secret for years by the secret services of the superpowers and published only shortly ago show how often and under what conditions the world was on the brink of a Third World War. In 1953, when Khrushchev was the successor to Stalin in the Soviet Union, people were able to breathe again.

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.
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.
Youth Movement
Dancing until your feet hurt: Here, at the meeting on the Hoher Meissner near Kassel, 3,500 participants from Boy Scout associations, youth and Wandervogel groups from all over the German-speaking region have gathered. They want to celebrate, simply get to know each other and commemorate a historic anniversary.
