The bear has huge problems with maths. He wants to give up and thinks he simply can't do it. But teacher Badger reminds all the pupils to fight back. And not only helps the bear.

Information on the series «Together we are great»

How can rules be introduced in a class so that pupils are more likely to comply with them? How can pupils who find it difficult to stick to rules because of their impulsive and quick-tempered behaviour be supported ? How can a class be sensitised to the issue of bullying? And how can a teacher react if bullying does occur?
Psychologists Fabian Grolimund, Stefanie Rietzler and Nora Völker get to the bottom of these and other questions in the short film series «Together we are class».
The films are aimed directly at children and are intended to help teachers find answers to the above questions with their class. Teachers can download free teaching materials to accompany the films from the Biber blog.
The series is being produced in collaboration with the Swiss parents' magazine Fritz+Fränzi.
