Albrecht Dürer
Painter, Mathematician, Scholar
Albrecht Dürer, born in 1471, is one of the greatest painters of the Renaissance. At just 15, with the support of his father, he stopped his apprenticeship and devoted himself to art. Pictures such as “Hare”, “Praying Hands” or “Adam and Eve” are as well known as his numerous self-portraits. The film shows Dürer's stations as a painter, graphic artist and artist of engravings and woodcuts. He describes the entrepreneur Dürer, who used the invention of the printing press for his own interests and founded his own sales department with employees. For Dürer, mathematics and art belong together. In search of the perfect proportion and perspective, he shared his knowledge with the world and published the first mathematics textbook in German in 1525. He also created the first star maps of Europe with an astronomer and cartographer, among others. In 1528 he died as a painter, mathematician and scholar in Nuremberg.

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
Madita is eleven and blind. She does not want to go to a special school but to a regular grammar school. She says she feels "normal" there. Jonathan is eight and has a walking disability. 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.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
