Children’s Rights in Germany
Projects of Pupils
25 years have passed since the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted unanimously by almost all countries of the world. This anniversary is being celebrated at Schloss Bellevue in Berlin. In the course of this, several groups of children are presenting their projects to the Federal President and his partner. But people are also reminded not to forget what exactly was agreed upon at that time. For children's rights are not always and everywhere respected as agreed upon in the Convention back then. The invitation to Schloss Bellevue, to the Federal President and his partner, shows the groups that support children's rights together with UNICEF the importance and value of their work. Without the commitment of many individuals nothing would change in this world and their commitment helps many children worldwide to have a better life.

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.
Tolerance
“Tolerance means being generous and kind to other people and helping them, too.”
