was established by a group of Estonian scientists, politicians, economists in Tallinn in 1927 with the aim of supporting the organising of Finno-Ugric cultural congresses and promoting relations between Estonia and other Finno-Ugrian peoples. The Soviet occupation stopped the activities of Fenno-Ugria in 1940, but it was re-established in 1991. Today Fenno-Ugria is the central umbrella organisation for Finno-Ugrian interaction, uniting more than 50 Estonian organisations and institutions (both state and public). Fenno-Ugria functions as a coordinating establishment of kinship work and information exchange. We promote manysided interaction, including economic contacts with the Finno-Ugric republics. We organise cultural exchange, conferences, courses for teachers in Estonia. We coordinate the studies of Eastern Finno-Ugrian students in Estonia and the exchange of guest lecturers with Finno-Ugrian universities. The revived tradition of celebrating Pan-Finno-Ugrian Days is since 1991 totally carried by Fenno-Ugria. Fenno-Ugria represents Estonia in the Finno-Ugric Peoples' Consultation Committee, established at the I World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples in 1992. In October 1994 we organised the annual session of the Consulting Committee in Lohusalu, Estonia.
