CAMPAIGN
Full attention for a clean Danube.
EDUCATION
A modularised educational programme.
Together with our partners we offer modularised training units on site. The didactically designed workshops increase the competence of young people along the project route to avoid plastics and train employees of the local institutions.
INFORMATION
A floating knowledge workshop.
Making microplastics tangible, showing ways to clean up rivers – with our tried-and-tested interactive stations and learning materials, we follow Andreas Fath on his way down the Danube. On our floating knowledge workshop, visitors and passers-by can obtain comprehensive information.
RESEARCH
Water sampling and analysis. Every single day.
Microplastics, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nitrate, phosphate, COD (chemical oxygen demand) and artificial sweeteners – with our mobile laboratory and in cooperation with international research institutions, we sample and analyze the entire course of the Danube.
