The project booklet serves as a step-by-step guide for the pupils to collect scientific data on their field trip.

With these materials, teachers and group leaders of extracurricular youth groups can prepare themselves for the Plastic Pirates - Go Europe! campaign. The document contains background information and master copies and offers all relevant information for support and follow-up.

The material can be used independently of a river expedition and beyond the campaign period.

The guidelines provide teachers and group leaders with all the information on the campaign, sampling and the most important deadlines in a clear and concise form.

To find larger microplastics on a sandy riverbank, a sieve is necessary. You can find the construction manual here.

This guideline provides recommendations on what to be aware of when sampling during times of the Corona pandemic.
