Project activities in Plungė - Klaipeda - Plateliai - Palanga

During the week our Lithuanian hosts presented their culture and traditions. We learned about customs that had been passed on from one generation to the next for several hundred years and which are still an important part in people's lives.

Introduction on how to weave your own carpet

 

 Hand-made traditonal Lithuanian tree cake (Šakotis)

 Learning how to decorate Easter eggs in Lithuanian style

 Lithuanians put these Mardi Gras masks on to scare the winter away and welcome the spring time.

 Religious symbols are found everywhere. These pieces are examples for excellent Lithuanian craftsmanship.

Storks are Lithuanias national birds. As we were not able to capture the real ones on a photo we show you these storks made of recycled tires.

 

We were served traditional Samogitian national cuisine in the same way as hundred years ago.

Not only small eggs are getting decorated, even big ones :)

Welcome!

This is a blog where students in the Comenius project I teach you, you teach me share their experiences of interaction between generations. Students visiting or working with elderly people will publish their thoughts, experiences and pictures to share with the other schools in the project.
