International Association of Academicians for Peace

IAAP/UPF-Argentina Discussion: “Universal Language: Esperanto”

Argentina-2022-11-07-IAAP/UPF-Argentina Discussion: “Universal Language: Esperanto”

Spanish

UPF-Argentina— “Universal Language for Peace: Esperanto” was the theme of the Discussion led by Prof. Julio Nardini, representative of the International Association of Academicians for Peace (IAAP) in Argentina, with Silvia Rottenberg, president of the Buenos Aires Esperanto Association. The event took place on November 7, 2022, on Zoom (1).

Esperanto is a widespread language spoken all around the world, created by the Polish eye doctor Ludwik Zamenhof (1859-1917), many times nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The bases of the language were published in 1887 and the goal was to develop a neutral language easy to learn, more suitable for communication. His objective was not to replace national languages, but for it to become an international alternative easier to learn (2).

During the presentation, there was a life testimony by Ms. Rottenberg on her spiritual search. There was also a reference to 2022 Peace Road, which this year has as a theme “Connecting Argentina through Peace” (3).

During the IAAP/UPF-Argentina 2022 Series, there were discussions with other experts on various themes proposed by Prof. Nardini, also an Ambassador for Peace representative in Argentina:

  1. Discussion with investigator and new Ambassador for Peace Silvia Perazzo, author of many academic articles on the history of contemporaneous Africa and the Rwanda genocide, and participant in many international summits on the African continent.
