According to VEJO President Tran Thi Hoan, Covid-19 pandemic has changed the every-day lives of individuals across the globe.

Hoan hopes that this event can be an opportunity for the Vietnamese public to have deeper access to Esperanto, as this is considered a language that can help people around the world come closer together.

At the Conference, delegates discussed topics such as: the role of Asian youth in developing international languages; the future of the Esperanto youth joint conference; using technology and game applications to learn languages...

Thanks to that, Esperantists can still promote the development of the movement, improve their proficiency, and popularize Esperanto globally. Therefore, in addition to developing direct activities, internationalists also need to promote online activities, applying the strong development of technology to strengthen solidarity and mutual understanding and promote the development of the Esperanto movement among countries.
