A project with the aim of engaging young people in exploring their perceptions of and researching what they feel are the key issues in the plastics circular economy.

The project involves working with groups of young people in schools and youth groups, in and around the city of Hull to encourage them to look at how they and the world around them interacts with single use plastics, what single-use plastic they use themselves, what they are made of, how some can be harmful and some really useful.

The aim is to encourage young people to develop a critical inquiry approach to how plastics are viewed, used and disposed of in our society.

There are two project files (with embedded activities and resources) for you to use:
