2011 Tallinn, Estonia
The 14th WFTGA Convention, 30 January to 3 February 2011, under the theme “Culture: A Unifying Guide”.
The 14th WFTGA Convention took place in Tallinn, Estonia, from 30 January to 3 February 2011 and was attended by 200 guides from 42 countries. The theme was Culture: A Unifying Guide, and the keynote speaker was Hervé Barré from UNESCO headquarters.
In 2011 Tallinn was European Capital of Culture. The idea behind the theme: although people around the world have different backgrounds, history, traditions, values and religious beliefs, as long as they love and cherish their own and want to share it with others, they can understand and respect what is strange and different. In this way culture acts as a guide, helping people to find their way in understanding the world.
