11th youth song and dance festival – The Land and the World

The 11th youth song and dance festival tells seaside stories about Estonia and its people. We all understand the world through our own eyes. Large is large and small is small only when they are side by side.

A small person’s world might be much bigger than an adult’s. And a very small nation can be very big even if their land seems small and the world seems big. The land and the world meet where yearning ends and love begins. A yearning to see the world eventually leads to a desire to return. Only here are our tales of forests, the sea and land and trees born. Stories that those who have gone before us have preserved, those who are alive today are adding to and those who are yet to come will remember. The world begins in a small land. We will tell all of these stories together at Tallinn’s Song Festival Grounds.
