However, that would convey the idea of the physical body of people, whereas using the name of the language as the basis of the word gives it the more abstract connotation of a cultural sphere.

In 1908, Dr. Wilhelm Molly attempted to create an Esperanto state in the Prussian-Belgian condominium of Neutral Moresnet, known as "Amikejo" (place of friendship).

In Europe on 2 June 2001 a number of organizations (they prefer to call themselves establishments) founded the Esperanta Civito, which "aims to be a subject of international law" and "aims to consolidate the relations between the Esperantists who feel themselves belonging to the diaspora language group which does not belong to any country".

A language learning partner application called Amikumu has been launched in 2017, allowing Esperanto speakers to find each other.

In addition to the United Nations and UNESCO,[7] the UEA has consultative relationships with UNICEF and the Council of Europe[8] and general cooperative relations with the Organization of American States.

The international language is a tool to enable cross-border political and social dialogue and actively contribute to peace and understanding between peoples.

In addition to textbooks, including the Fundamento de Esperanto by Zamenhof, the Assimil-methods and the video-methods such as Muzzy in Gondoland of the BBC and Pasporto al la tuta mondo, there are many courses for learning online.

Courses are also held during the World Esperanto Congress in the framework of the Internacia Kongresa Universitato (IKU).

For example, the Conference on the Application of Esperanto in Science and Technology (KAEST) occurs in November every year since 1998 in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Personal initiatives are also common: Doctor of mathematics Ulrich Matthias created a document about the foundations of Linear Algebra[11] and the American group of Maine (USA) wrote a guidebook to learn the programming language Python.

[12] In general, Esperanto is used as a lingua franca in some websites aiming teaching of other languages, such as German,[13] Slovak,[14] Swahili,[15] Wolof[16] or Toki Pona.

Often national associations magazines are also published in order to inform about the movement in the country, such as Le Monde de l'espéranto of Espéranto-France.

Muzaiko is a radio that has broadcast an all-day international program of songs, interviews and current events in Esperanto since 2011.

Spread of the Internet has enabled more efficient communication among Esperanto speakers and slightly replaced slower media such as mail.

[24] Media as Twitter, Telegram, Reddit or Ipernity also contain a significant number of people in this community.

[31] "Esperantism" was defined to be a movement to promote the widespread use of Esperanto as a supplement to mother tongues in international and inter-ethnic contexts.

Over the years it slowly became unusable and at the official closing of the Universala Ligo in the 1990s, the remaining steloj coins were handed over to the UEA.

Here are two: the Castle of Grésilion in France and the Department of Planned Languages and Esperanto Museum in Vienna (Austria).

This is largely a byproduct of the influence the Esperanto community once had on organizations that worked in the field of international relations (including the United Nations) in the mid-20th century.

[34] Here are the celebrations proposed as international holidays by the UEA since 2010: Every year numerous meetings of Esperanto speakers in different topics around the world take place.

The main example is the Universal Congress of Esperanto (UK), a week-long summer conference organized annually by the UEA.

Due to the fact that there are a lot of Esperanto meetings around the globe, there are websites which aim to list and share them.

Eventa Servo provides an up-to-date list of online meetings and in-person events happening each week.
