We tackle different topics and contribute to the discourse regarding language politics, language and cultural rights, and openness.
What do we do?
Language and Cultural Lessons
We hold Esperanto language lessons and cultural discussions to widen and enhance the view of everyone about the world.
Podcast
We occasionally release podcasts in Esperanto that talks about Philippine culture. We also release podcasts in Philippine languages to promote Esperanto within the country.
Library
We are probably the only organization in the university that keeps a wide range of literature and media about, and in Esperanto.
Member Meetups
Members befriend each other and do other hobbies when we do not work for the organization while little-by-little using the language in conversation.
International Linkages
We get to communicate with different people from all over the world through the language.
