The material is primarily designed as self-learning material and comprises three areas per topic:

1. Cinema: Here you will find a short introductory text and a series of screencasts. The introductory text is not a complete summary of the information given in the screencasts. It can introduce you to the respective topic and help you to remember the key facts later. You can make use of the full potential of the learning material and have the most fruitful learning experience, if you watch the respective screencasts in the cinema and work on the reflective questions, which you find at the end of each introductory text.

2. Bookshelf: Further reading to deepen your knowledge (scientific discussions and studies) can be found in the bookshelf of each topic.

3. Toolbox: Material for the transfer from theory into practice, like worksheets, templates etc. are available to be adapted and used for your own work.
The material can be used free of charge for non-commercial purposes and passed on unchanged, provided the authors are named.
