We were in the second of three Tree Planting action of the Programme, organized within the
celebration campaign of European Cooperation Day 2013 on 10 September 2013.
"Young people from youth centres and Rēzekne High school, including
guest-students from Portugal and Spain supported the action and planted
10 different species of trees in Vipinga Forest Park in Rēzekne, Latvia.
Whistles made of clay from all three countries were chosen as symbolic
Programme’s souvenirs for the ECDay 2013. "
Project "Green Man" is co-organizer of the tree planting action also in Latvia.
"Action hosted the folk group „Maatasa” from Tartu (Estonia), which
performed energetic Estonian folksongs and surprised participants of the
action by performing a song in Latvian and song in Russian – in both
languages of the other two participating countries of the Programme."
"As the third element of the action and to represent presence of Russia, real soļanka – Russian national soup was offered by representatives of the Russian song ensemble „Harmony” in national costumes. By having planted Latvian trees, listened Estonian music and tasted Russian soup all guests and participants of the action took home the best mood of the cooperation and neighbourhood."
