Educational Programme
Upstream Battle is all about stopping litter on it's journey from the source in towns, cities, drains and waterways, to ending up in the sea - that's why we call it "source to sea litter".
There are lots of ways that you can get involved in tackling the problem of source to sea litter, by raising awareness, gathering information and taking action in your school and community to help us stop marine litter pollution!
This year we're inviting schools in the West Partnership, Argyll & Bute, North Ayrshire and South Ayrshire to learn how we can all play our part in tackling the issues around the Arrochar Litter Sink.
Register for this year's education programme to access:
- A Live Lesson on 14 November 2024
- A workshop on 9 January 2025
- Classroom resources and activities
- Art competition entry guidance

STEM the Flow challenges pupils to investigate and identify a solution to help to tackle marine litter upstream at source, by either capturing litter already in our waterways, or finding ways to stop it getting there in the first place!
This lesson includes a short, inspiring lesson for Early Years-P3 with children’s author Sarah Roberts courtesy of the Scottish Book Trust, a full morning for P4-P7 classes with science writer Isabel Thomas, our own KSB experts and Marine Conservation Society, and a pre-recorded workshop for High Schools.
