International Youth Congress

The International Youth Congress (Esperanto: Internacia Junulara Kongreso, IJK) is the largest annual meeting of young Esperantists in the world. The participants come from all over the world for one week, and they usually number around 300, although there has been a congress with more than 1000 attendees before. The congress takes place in a different country every year and is organized by the World Esperanto Youth Organization (Esperanto: Tutmonda Esperantista Junulara Organizo, TEJO), the youth wing of the Universal Esperanto Association (Esperanto: Universala Esperanto-Asocio, UEA). Both the IJK and the World Esperanto Congress take place each summer, usually in consecutive weeks but rarely in the same country.
