The fifth course in a series of 5 courses, developed within the Erasmus+ funded project “Microplastics – tomorrow’s macro problem”.
The course provides excellent material in the field of microplastics, which was contributed mainly by project partners. Various teachers from Slovenia and Italy who actively participated in the project also contributed parts of the material.
Project partners Dermol svetovanje d.o.o. from Litija – Slovenia, the Faculty of Environmental Protection from Velenje – Slovenia, and the NGO CSIG from Taranto in Italy have joined forces to raise awareness of microplastics among young people, teachers and educational institutions.
They would also like to offer teachers in secondary schools and faculties high-quality teaching materials that can be used in schools in the classroom or in extracurricular activities.
The project “Microplastics – tomorrow’s macro problem” has been funded by the European Union from the programme Erasmus+ (2021-1-SI01-KA210-VET-00034536).
