 In the project “United in Nature - National Nature, International Heritage!” there are involved 6 schools from different European countries: Turkey, Norway, Spain, Lithuania, Italy and France. All the schools are located close to national parks or protected areas, and that is why our main goal is to discover Europe's nature, its beauty and diversity, the European dimension. The main objective of the project is to develop pupils' interest in nature, their curiosity about why we need national parks, to help them to find a meaningful connection between science/ theoretical activities and practical work connected to climate change/environmental issues and especially to teach them a sense of responsibility. The project is based on the assumptions of the UN Convention (concerning the climate change and the importance of having forests) and promotes activities related to exploring and protecting biodiversity, especially forest habitats. The Project is also addressed to the local community of each country, in order to get relevant information concerning the local environmental policy. Šis projektas finansuojamas remiant Europos Komisijai.

Šio projekto metu mokiniai susipažino su Kuršių nerijos nacionalinio parko augalija ir gyvūnija, skaitė lietuvių etiologines sakmes, jas analizavo, aptarė jų kūrimo principus. Vėliau mokiniai dalyvavo kūrybinėje laboratorijoje - kūrė etiologines sakmes apie Kuršių nerijos nacionalinio parko gyvūnus ir augalus, juos iliustravo.

The teacher must not only impart knowledge. Today, our world is changing constantly and rapidly, and the teacher has to do much more: to encourage their students,
 to develop their creativity. Participation in a Multilateral Comenius School
 Partnership project "United in nature - nature national, international heritage!" - is a great opportunity to teach differently as well, relating creative tasks with the things and knowledge acquired in the lessons. It increases students’ interest in nature. During this project, the students learnt about the flora and fauna of the Curonian Spit National Park, read Lithuanian aetiological legends, they analyzed and discussed the ways and principles of creating them. Later, the students participated in the creative lab – they created etiological legends about the Curonian Spit National Park, its animals and plants, they also illustrated them. Seeing the young artists and their works, we wanted a wider range of people to have an access to students' work, so we had an idea to issue a book with the creative works of students. A.

 Kirstukai A shrew
 Gyveno mažas kirstukas. Jam buvo labai sunku susirasti maisto, todėl jis nuėjo pas Dievą ir paprašė jo pagalbos. Dievas padovanojo jam ilgą snapą, kad galėtų susirasti maisto, bet buvo vienas trūkumas: kirstukas negalėjo nustoti ėsti, nes kitaip jis numirs. Štai, kodėl kirstukai visada ėda
 Once upon a time a small shrew lived there. It was difficult for him to find food, so he went to God and asked him for a help. The God gave him a long beak that helps him to find food, but there was one problem, a shrew could not stop eating, because otherwise he would die. That is why shrews always eat.
 Kiaunės The martens
 Kartą kiaunė su voveryte bėgo nuo paties velnio. Pamačiusios krūmą, pasislėpė už jo, bet tai nepadėjo išvengti nelabajo. Jis pačiupo jas ir p a k l a u s ė: -Tai kurią iš jūsų man skanauti pirmą?
 One time a marten with a squirrel ran from Devil. When they saw a bush they hid behind it, but it didn’t help them to avoid the Devil. He caught them and asked, “So which of you should I taste at first?” “Well, what to do....
 -Na, ką jau padarysi... Mane... - pareiškė kiaunė.
 Let it be me...” said the marten. But the Devil chose the squirrel. He ate the squirrel and said to the marten, “Well, I won’t eat you, but I can’t let you go so simply! I know what I will do!” And made the marten’s tail the same as the squirrel has.
 Bet velnias pasirinko voverytę. Suėdęs voverę jis pareiškė kiaunei: -Na, ką gi, aš tavęs nevėsiu, bet taip paprastai paleisti negaliu! Žinau, ką padarysiu! - ir pavertė kiaunės uodegą kaip voverės.

 met his friend squirrel. When the badger saw squirrel‘s new hairstyle, he desired the same. The squirrel offered him to have a 15 minutes tan at the sun. So the badger did as it was offered.
 Besikaitindamas prieš saulę barsukas užsnūdo, nes jis nepripratęs prie šviesos. Nusileidus saulei, barsukas atsikėlęs, pasižiūrėjęs į veidrodį, pamatė, kad ant jo galvos atsirado didelės, baltos, nublukusios
 The badger fell asleep in front of the sun, because he was not used to the light. After the sunset, when the badger woke up and looked into the mirror, he saw that there were
 huge, white, faded lines on his head.
 Nuo tada barsukas taip ir atrodo.
 Since then the Badger is like that.
 Šermuonėliai The ermines
 Tik gimęs šermuonėlis buvo palaimintas Dievo. Kai vasarą danguje švytėdavo saulės spindulėliai, šermuonėlio kailis pasidarydavo gelsvas. Tai ponios Saulės palaiminimas. Bet kai ateidavo šaltosios žiemužės metas, danguje nušvitęs Mėnulis palaimindavo šermuonėlį šiltu ir baltu, kaip sniegas kailiu.
 A just born ermine was blessed by God. In summer, when the sunrays were shining in the sky, the fur of the ermine used to become yellow. This is the blessing of the lady Sun. But when the cold winter time came, the Moon appeared in the sky and used to bless the ermine with a warm fur which is white as snow.
 Ruonis A seal
 Gyveno didelis šuo, kuris labai labai mėgo žuvį: ir plekšnes, ir menkes, ir stintas iš Baltijos jūros. Tai jam suteikė didelį džiaugsmą. Kartą šuo kramsnojo žuvį ant tilto ir staiga užspringęs įkrito į šaltą jūros vandenį! Ledinis vanduo sutraukė šuniui letenas. Jis kaip begalėdamas bandė išsigelbėti. Taip sripriai malė letenom, kad jos pavirto pelekais! Didelis žuvies pomėgis šunį pavertė ruoniu.
 Once upon a time a big dog lived there. It loved fish very much, flatfishes, and cods, and smelts from the Baltic Sea. He felt very happy because of that. One time a dog was eating fish on a bridge and suddenly chocked with it and fell down into cold seawater! Icy water shackled the dog‘s feet. He was trying to escape. He was beating with his paws so much that they became fins! A very big hobby of a fish made a dog into a seal.
 Plakio spalvos Colours of silvery bream
 Kai dievas kūrė žuvis, jam padėjo deivė. Dievas turėjo daug darbo, tad ji paklausė, ar galėtų jam padėti ir sukurti vieną žuvų rūšį. Dievas sutiko. Ji pirmiausia sukūrė kūną ir tada jam suteikė spalvų. Nugara buvo melsvai žalia kaip dangus ir žolė. Šonai mėlyni kaip nakties skliautas. Pilvas, kaip mėnulis - baltai sidabriškas. Pelekai pilki pilki kaip rūkas. Plakiai ir dabar tokių spalvų.
 When the God created fish, Goddes helped him. God had too much work to do and so Goddes asked him, if she could she help him create one fish. God accepted her offer. At first she created a body and gave it some colours. Its back was blue and green just like the sky and grass. Sides were blue like a nightmare. Belly was like the Moon – silvery white. Fins were grey like a fog. Until these days silvery breams have got these colours.

 that fish were so weak and he pulled out all them from the hell. Fish have no idea where they could go and they went to the God‘s house, to Heaven. The God forgave them and let them live in his kingdom. The most faithful fish, which were with the God and had no doubt, were brown trout. The God awarded them the Moon form stains.

 Once upon a time the devil was making fun under the ground. He was angry, getting red and dreadful. Devil had a lot of slaves under the ground, who have been working for him. Some days, when the devil used to go anywhere, his slaves had loads of time to relax and eat. So one of the slaves, took a chance while hiding he was carving a wooden statue. The statue was extraordinary because the tree bark is magical and can turn everything into real things. After a few hard weeks he finally finished his work. And it was a fish. He gave a name for a fish – Perch. And after he had whispered its name, it became real and became a real fish. After work the slave released the fish into the water and never saw it again.

 Once upon a time, God didn’t know where he needs to go. He didn’t know what to do. Then he thought that the sea he had created needs a friend, to communicate and spend time together. God decided that it would need to be a fish. To create a fish, he needs a lot of time. After some time he came up with an idea, what fish it will be. So the God started working and after a week the fish was already created. He only needed to come up with a name to it. He decided that the name should be the Pike. The next day God landed on the coast of the sea and from the sky released the Pike into the sea, together with her new friend. The Pike was happy and satisfied.

 Once upon a time God saw a beetle, which was moving very sharply. And he had a good idea. He will create an animal, which will move sharply too. So God started to work. After few hours his job was done. He created a fish, which was moving sharply too. He called fish Zander, because it sounds like sudden. God came down from the sky and let the fish into the sea. He was pitty for her, because fish didn‘t have any friends, which she could play to, but she was very funny , so everybody became friends with her and started to play games.

 Kirai Gulls
 Seniai seniai visi paukščiai gyveno draugiškai ir dalindavosi savo sumedžiotu laimikiu.

 Long long time ago all birds were living friendly and they shared their catches. One time some gulls gathered and started to revolt saying: „Why do we have to share our goodies?“ Being lazy to hunt themselves they started to attack others and steal their food. Since then gulls are called rapacious and cheeky birds.

 And the God decided to bring more colours to the cold winter. A gray birdie flew near the birches. And God ordered his helpers to paint it colorfully, so that would be funnier and happier to wait for springs and summers‘ warmth. And because the sun is yellow, so they painted the bird in yellow. The yellow birdie travels all around the land, the helpers called it a tit. The birdie makes everyone happy with his yellow belly announcing the coming spring.

It looked like a scorpion. This creature managed to escape and it settled to live deeply under the sand. It was thought that this little monster wasn‘t friendly with people, because when people were sleeping it got into their ears and cut of their ear drums with his back pincers. And it was said, “It goes into the ear!” And from that time this sand resident was called – earwig.

 One sunny day God went for a walk into a forest, but instead of pines he saw a colony of hairy worms. Trees were asking for help. God sent rain and strong wind to safe pines. But it didn‘t help. Worms still have been eating and laughing. Then God got angry and he sent a lot of birds, that they would destroy worms. Seven nights and seven days passed, day changed night and the sunny morning came. It looked like scary worms were destroyed. But they were tricky. They stand in a line one by one and it looks like one big worm. That‘s how they are safely going from one pine to the other one. So they have cheated God they are having feast in pinewood.

 One day they became angry with each other which one is better. All of them boasted as much as they could but still were angry with each other. God became furious by seeing them behaving like that and distributed them to the groups acording to their characteristics. One of them was very nimble, big and strong and that‘s why the God gave him the name of the nible lizard.

 In the old days when the gods ruled all the good and the evil ruled all the devils they constantly quarrelled with each other, were angry with each other deviding their influence on plants or animals to turn them to their side for serving. There was a small plant growing near the Baltic sea. It was a small, withered plant, dried up of the burning rays of the sun and invariable wind. It was obsessed by the angry sea devil. The plant was existing so hard, he was as small as a grain of sand and very fine. The Gods felt sorry about this small plant so they moved its seeds closer to the water. Their leaves went lushly green, juicy. And everybody started calling this plant a sea sandwort since then.

 Once upon a time the God was walking on the sea shore. He has been walking on a soft sand for a few minutes and a brilliant idea came to his mind. The God decided to decorate the dunes givinng them some plants. He has been thinking all day, until he got ready for work. The God‘s idea was great. He created long, thin and pale green leaves and all of them put into one heap. He got a nice bush. Then God created many bushes, but they had no name. Then the God started thinking. These plants reminded him the cornflowers, so he improved the name and called them lyme-grass. And since there have been many such plants and they were all by the sea and what is more on the seaside of Lithuania in Smiltynė, so the God gave them the name of sea lyme-grass.

 There was a huge risk to live near the dunes, because sand can cover up the village. But one night, witches had so much fun that they triggered a huge wind and agitated the waves. They started to bring up the seaweed from the deepest sea corners. While running kids saw strange and unseen plants. When they picked up some white blossom plants, they were running in the dunes. A month later, towards the autumn, people set about building fortifications that would save the village from winds and sand that witches raise. When they got out they saw, that sand was holding even at escarpment where the magical plant was growing. Now even the witches fun or their huge winds wouldn‘t be scary.

 Dievas sukūręs augalus jų iškart nepavadino, tik einant laikui jie įgavo pavadinimus. Kadangi Pajūrinė zunda buvo labai graži ir viliojanti gėlė, vabzdžiai būriais prie jos lindo. Jai tai labai nepatiko, todėl po kiek laiko kaprizingoji gėlė išsiaugino spygliuotus lapus, kad galėtų apsiginti nuo visų jos dėmesio trokštančių vabzdžių. Visus vabzdžius tai pradėjo erzinti, todėl jie pradėjo vadinti ją Zunda, o Dievas nusprendė, jog ji turėtų būti Pajūrinė zunda, nes auga pajūryje.
 A sea holly is a purple flower with sharp with spiny leaves and it grows in the beach.But not always it was so spiny and no one called it holly...
 When God created plants, he didn't give them names right away, just over some time they got their names. Because a sea holly was a very beautiful and attractive flower, lots of insects were into it. The flower didn't like it very much, so after some time, fad flower grew up spiky leaves to defend itself from the persecute insects. It began to tease all the insects and they started calling the flower “holly”, and God decided to call that flower „a sea holly“ because it was growing in the beach.
