Experiences from last year

All our project events have been carried by the ideas of Life in Harmony with Nature. We got a lot of educating information and took part in different workshops. Mercedes Merimaa introduced us to alternative eating habits. Wea discovered and tasted a special wholemeal bread, the coctail of sea-buckthorn. The best surprise was how rich is the group of Estonian herbs and how they can help us with health problems.

Though- provoking were the results of our food diaries. We studied how important is balanced food, because the percentage of fats and carbohydrates is too high in our food. One group of us made special posters to propagate healthy food and living healthfully and how to forestall health disorders.

We got smarter and wise in the work with step-counters and understood all the reasons for doing sports after the step- counter activities.

Step by step we were introduced to the nature parks and landscape protection areas of Pärnu by Merike Palginõmm. In this way we made preparations for our hiking tours to Pärnu landscape protection areas, where 180 students took part in. The Koidula Park we went to decorates the downtown area, with its colourful flowerbeds and fountain. We drew up and solved a lot of different practical worksheets there. The hikes gave us interesting ideas for pitures, photos, quizes, games and competitions. Also the productive hikes helped us to make up different portfolios about Pärnu landscape prtection areas.

On the 22nd May 72 students of us participated in the conference ,,The life richness is vitality.´´ Where Georg Aher Payed more attention to the history of Pärnu nature protection. Also he shared his ideas with us about nowadays nature protection.

All the results are reflected in the blog.
