 The Lithuanian team chose one letter from the phrase HEARTBEATS NATURE and focused on the letter T. The students selected the word TACT and, working outdoors, used natural materials such as leaves, stones, twigs, and flowers to creatively form the word in a natural setting.

Each leaf, stone and branch became part of a shared vision for a brighter, more sustainable future. A small word, built by many hands—growing big dreams for our planet 💚 #OutdoorClassroomDay #HeartbeatsNature #LearningOutside
