International Youth Congress of Esperanto
- International Youth Congress of Esperanto
The International Youth Congress of Esperanto or "Internacia Junulara Kongreso" is the biggest annual meeting of young esperantists in the world and participants usually number around 300 but have been know to have more than 1000 esperanto-speakers from all over the world coming for the entire week. The congress takes place in a different country every year and is organised by the 'Tutmonda Esperantista Junulara Organizo', better known as "TEJO", World Esperanto Youth Organisation, the youth wing of the UEA. Both the IJK and the World Congress of Esperanto take place each summer, usually in consecutive weeks but rarely in the same country.
In 2006, the event was held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 2007 it was held in Hanoi, Vietnam, and in 2008 it was held in Szombathely, Hungary. The 65th IJK will take place from July 18 to July 25, 2009, in Liberec, Czech Republic.
