The project booklet serves as a step-by-step guide for the young people to collect scientific data on their excursion.

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.
