Kontakto

"Kontakto" is a magazine in Esperanto published by TEJO and supported by Universal Esperanto Association (UEA). The magazine has readers in about 90 countries of the world. It started in 1963 though a proposal of the UEA committee by Humphrey Tonkin, who became its first editor in chief and who provided a magazine that touched on topics of interest to Esperanto youth. The magazine often used the slogan "In Esperanto, but not about Esperanto."

In the early 1980s, Anna Lowenstein became the editor. Her contributions to the magazine included easy-to-read articles, which concerned serious topics, but were written in simple language suitable for beginning Esperanto learners.
