Refreshment Front - Season 2 (2017)

In the first episode of the new season, the refreshment team will try to survive high school.

Is every musician on the street, every fire-eater in the town square, every graffiti writer... already a street artist? How do you take graffiti home? Why is street art moving to museums and what can we learn from street films? The answers will be explored on the street and in the studio in this week's Refreshment Front.

Today, more than ever, many would agree with the saying - tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are. Sometimes we even get the feeling that some people are already full if they get at least 100 likes for a side dish, and that the reaction of their friends on social media is more important to them than the food and the ritual of eating. This time, the Refreshment Front will be digesting our relationship with food.

Studying is certainly a major turning point in life, especially if you decide to study abroad. With a different way of acquiring knowledge, you have to find your feet in a new environment, make new friends, and deal with different habits and cultures. Most people talk about studying abroad with enthusiasm, but it's not always that simple. How to help yourself when you are alone and in need, how to sustain a long-distance love, how to get through all the bureaucratic hurdles? Some of the answers and experiences are gathered in this week's Refreshment Front.

What happens if we do not accept and identify with the gender identity that was assigned to us at birth? When do people feel cramped in their gender identity and identify as trans? What do the terms cisgender, transgender, transsexual mean? Some answers and explanations are gathered in this week's Refreshment Front.

Watching this week's Refreshment Front will make many people get goosebumps. The creators of the show will talk about hair removal, hair in the egg, beards and who is bothered by hair and why.

Mars, the closest planet to us and the fourth planet from the Sun, has never been stepped on by humans, but scientists have been collecting data on conditions on the red planet for decades. How long would it take to get there, what are the temperatures and seasons like, what could we live on... will be the subject of this week's Refreshment Front.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been on the rise again recently, and it's important to protect yourself against them. Anyone can get infected with an STI and the main weapon against infections is certainly awareness. What is medically safe sex, where to find basic information using an online app, when to go to the doctor... some of the answers have been gathered in this week's Refreshment Front.

You know that feeling when you're in a stressful situation and you just want to run away? That's when something amazing happens to our bodies. In a state of heightened excitement and psychophysical activity, adrenaline, the hormone of the adrenal gland, is released. How excited do we get when we touch a snake, how does a chess player use adrenaline to her advantage, how do horror movies affect our bodies, what happens when the adrenaline wears off...? More in the new Refreshment Front.

Where in the past videos were only watched when they were on, today we live in an age where they can be watched at any time. The golden age of MTV has been replaced by the golden age of YouTube, and likeability is mainly judged by the audience. What is a good music video anyway, is it to promote music or to promote musicians? What does it mean for young musicians to make their first music video? More in this week's Refreshment Front.
