Philippine Esperanto Youth invites you to Filipina Junulara Renkontiĝo ("Philippine Youth Meetup") or FAJRO, an annual gathering of all young speakers and learners of the international language Esperanto.
This year, FAJRO will be held in Quezon City (Metro Manila) on Saturday, August 10, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM to celebrate the 137th anniversary of Esperanto's publication, also known to our community as the Esperanto Day.
Keep reading below to find out more about the event, including how to register.
Speakers and learners of all levels are welcome to participate, so FAJRO 2024 is the perfect chance for you to interact with other Esperanto speakers from all over the country if you're looking to brush up on your Esperanto!
As the largest gathering of members of the Esperanto-speaking community this year, FAJRO 2024 offers a range of activities to share your knowledge and develop your skills more while making friends and expanding your networks.
Participants will receive Esperanto-related merchandise from the organization as well as from our partner organizations, all for free! There will be also an option to buy some exclusive, locally-made merchandise at an affordable price.
FAJRO 2024 will be held under the theme "Reigniting Esperanto in the Philippines."
Part of the program will be dedicated towards exploring different ways to boost and expand the Esperanto community in the country, especially after having been limited by the COVID-19 pandemic and other internal and external factors. We'll discuss innovative but realistic strategies to make it easier for Filipinos to discover and learn Esperanto as well as engage in the global youth community.
(Fun fact: Did you know that "fajro" means "fire" in Esperanto?)
The final program is out! Visit this page to discover the full activity list.
During FAJRO 2024, experience, interact, and learn as you participate in different activities organized by members of the local Esperanto youth community. We offer you a set of lectures, workshops, and games, where you can win exciting (and practical) prizes!
We're also proud to give the floor to a cultural performance by Jubert Cabrezos, our local Esperanto poet, as he reads some of his works in Esperanto.
