Lithuanian nettle education in Raudondvaris

In Raudondvaris, at the Outdoor Experiential Education and Sustainable growth, we gathered to learn about nettles. This "biting" plant has always scared us because it can sting. But yesterday we learnt about the benefits of this plant. It is an excellent source of calcium and minerals and more. Not interested? What do you think about the fact that energy bars, sweets, can be made from nettle seeds? Now we must be intrigued! Participants not only searched for the seeds of this plant and found a way to make friends with it, but also had the chance to make these healthy treats.

The aim of the project: to educate the inhabitants of small towns and suburbs in Lithuania and Turkey to be role models for environmental protection and sustainable practices.

The project "Outdoor Experiential Education and Sustainable growth" is partly funded by the European Union.
