LT, NO, ES, FR: „Nature teaches us“
LT: Sapling’s day in Lithuania
On the last week of the schoolyear, students and teachers of Gedminai progymasium planted “ANEN” project tree – a maple tree, which will symbolise the values of our project: cooperation, friendship, tolerance and commitment to the environment.
Lithuanian old customs and folk songs show traditions of the old culture, where the tree of life, perception of affinity between human and nature dominated. In the past, oaks, lindens, birches, maples, pines and firs were considered as magic trees. It was also believed, that particularly old, strong and the stranger forms of trees have healing features.
Maple – a tree that allows all the people to recover spiritual balance and self-confidence. In Lithuanian folk songs, this tree is used to make a boat that sails the lad to his virgin girl, a cot and boards for the dirt floor. Women used maple leaves to cover the bottom of furnace for the bread cooking and to dye in black or yellow woollen yarn. In spring, you can taste maple sap, which is sweet.
The entire growth process during the project will be recorded on the project website.
NO: SKYPE COMMUNICATION
