Tolerance, Openness and Diversity in Everyday School Life

Schüler spricht mit Autoren

 

Traditionally, the media project week took place in the week before the Christmas holidays under the motto "Tolerance, Openness and Diversity". During this week, pupils from all year groups were able to improve their media skills and at the same time learn about the values of cultural diversity. Over the three days, the classes dealt with fundamental topics such as children's rights, combating racism, cyberbullying and anti-Semitism. The programme included extensive research, discovering books and films, visits to museums, workshops and the creation of posters, films, PowerPoint presentations, podcasts and photo reports.

On Thursday, 21 December, the final presentations took place in the school classes. The pupils were very excited to present their results to their parents. The middle school presented their results in an exhibition in various classrooms, which parents were able to view. During the three project days in the sixth form, the students worked under the motto "Walled in. The Berlin Wall - A Unique Phenomenon?", the pupils explored the topics of democracy, tolerance and diversity in the context of current world events. The panel discussion moderated by pupils, combined with a reading by Gianni Jovanovic and Oyindamola Alashe from their book "I, a child of the small majority", rounded off the media week.

Finally, everyone met for a cosy end to the year with coffee, cake and popcorn.
