This project booklet aims to give young people aged

between 10 and 16 hands-on experience of the issues

related to seas and the ocean, particularly the problem

of plastic waste in seas and flowing waterways. The key

questions for the Plastic Pirates are as follows: How

bad is plastic waste pollution in flowing waterways

and seas in Europe? What kinds of plastic are particularly common in the environment and what impact

does this have on our seas and our ocean?

This project booklet helps young people find their feet

during the excursion and serves as a scientific guide to

data collection.

The tone of the booklet is aimed at the young people

themselves. It has been designed in such a way that

they can complete the various steps of the project independently. Help them in your role as an educator.

The project booklet is suitable for use in a group of

between six and 30 young people, whether a school

class, a work group or a club. Including preparation and

follow-up work, the project takes about three days, or

six to eight teaching hours, to complete –

plus approx. two hours for sampling. As different

amounts of time can be allocated to the individual stages, the project booklet is also well suited to integration

within a project week.
