Offers for schools, institutes and further educational institutes

We pass on our knowledge - in a variety of ways

The real art lies much less in the knowledge of the principles than in the way they are applied.

Honoré de Balzac

"Microplastics" is a highly complex topic with many causes and many levers - actually far too complicated for school, not yet fully researched scientifically and yet a topic of the future and on everyone's lips. It is precisely these topics that belong in schools and institutes and this is where WASoMI comes in.

Schools and institutes are an ideal place to provide impetus for sustainable action. That's why we bring our expertise on microplastics and our commitment to environmental protection into the classrooms. We are convinced that together with teachers, lecturers, participants, and students we can achieve much more for Water without Microplastics (WASoMI).

The educational content is put together in such a way that it:

  • reduces complexity,
  • addresses problems in the context of solutions.

Our goal within the WASoMI education area is to create a teaching/learning environment where learning and teaching are independent of:  

  • place
  • time
  • space

and without coercion and performance pressure.

The search for answers to the question: When does an everyday helper become an environmental problem?

Our digital learning and experience world WASoMI (in German) provides insights into the diversity of the topic of plastic and microplastics in the environment in small microlearning units.

Animations and explanatory videos on the YouTube channel

There are many ways to impart knowledge. We build bridges to more knowledge by focusing on microlearning and multidimensional knowledge transfer. 

Project FREIRÄUME -
learning and teaching tools

With FREIRÄUME we create an interactive and scalable exercise platform around microplastics. We create innovative, (out-of-)school formats with individual and group exercises...

Our blog about water without microplastics

We want to stop the uncontrolled pollution of our water with microplastics and micropollutants. In our blog posts, we describe step by step why it is high time to do so and how we want to achieve this. We focus on current information and always keep an eye on the latest opinions and curiosities.

Sustainable education and knowledge transfer

On the trail of the WHY.... The world is becoming ever more dynamic. The role and function of education and training (school, work, everyday life) is becoming increasingly important. The aim is to offer complexity-reducing transfer tasks and provide assistance in order to be able to argue and act on the basis of facts in the search for answers to pressing questions. This is all quite complex and requires some optimization and adaptation. A look behind the scenes of WASoMI.

World Water day 2024 in the plastic age

We've all heard of the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. But what era are we actually living in today? Perhaps most likely the "plastic age", also known as the Anthropocene ("determined by man"). The age of the disposable society began with the introduction of polymers and plastics into everyday life. And with it came the great promise that cheap plastic products would eliminate the need for laborious cleaning and repairs as well as numerous costs, such as those for transport. And so it was, but unfortunately for far too long people forgot to consider what happens at the end of a product (disposal) or to produce, process, use, and recycle products in a circular manner and beyond internal processes.
