Reports on this year’s World Espe- ranto Congress in Florence appear in Esperanto in La Brita Esperantisto, in UEA’s Esperanto, and elsewhere, so here is a view in English. So much goes on during the week that almost anyone’s account will differ radically from any other, so this is very much a personal perspective.

e left Britain in a heat wave, only to find W Tuscany in identically stifling weather. Temperatures around 38°C continued through much of the week. Luckily, most of the congress venues were provided with air-conditioning, and thankfully also our hotel. The town was occasionally Above: A small corner of the new ‘Movada Foiro’, where organisations and ideas get an informal airing during the traditional ‘Interkona Vespero’.

Below: The Committee of the Universal Esperanto Association at work – representatives from 65 national associations practising equal respect for all languages and cultures – the only such world body to practise what it preaches. Two more associations were accepted during the Congress in Florence – from Nepal and Madagascar.

However, there was a representative from the British Consulate in Florence, HM Consul Moira Macfarlane. We hardly ever see a British diplomat at any Congress, so congratulations are in order – though I doubt the Foreign Office knew about it!

Paul Gubbins officially greeted the congress on behalf of British Esperantists.

Education and lectures Kleriga Lundo was again a success. It is a loose collection of educa- tional talks and lectures. As ever, it is not easy to choose which to attend when so many things are happening at the same time, but that is a luxury that applies through much of the congress week. The Internacia Kongresa Universitato (IKU) also presented its somewhat more august themes on subjects ranging from the EU’s 20 official languages, European pivotal language for ‘What Was Really New in the plus the same text in Esperanto, translation and interpretation, we Renaissance’ to ‘Statistical Exami- that Esperanto is structurally find English.
