Studa Semajnfino: 1–2 March 2025

Our first Study Weekend of 2025 will soon be upon us ... and it's FREE! This time we'll be in Manchester.

poster.jpg

Our Studa Semajnfino events feature sessions geared towards new learners, intermediate learners, and even people who are on their way to functional fluency. We've invited some experienced Esperanto teachers to contribute to the programme, making sure you're in good hands.

You can find details about the event, including some of what's on offer, here. That page contains a link to a sign-up form.

When

Saturday 1 March, starting from 09:30, finishing in the early evening. We'll reconvene on Sunday 2 March at 09:00, finishing around 17:00.

Where

The Pendulum Hotel, Sackville Street, Manchester, M1 3BB

What do I get?

  • Free teaching and activities in a relaxed, friendly environment.
  • Refreshments during the day.
  • An opportunity to buy books.

What don't I get?

  • Meals. We'll track those down for ourselves.
  • Accommodation. The venue is a hotel, so you can book to stay there. Use the code DELEGATE to get a discount on your booking. It's nonetheless a bit on the pricey side. We've booked the teachers into the Travelodge Manchester Central on Blackfriars Street, which is a short walk away and more affordable.

Who is the Studa Semajnfino for?

People who have started learning Esperanto (for example, via Duolingo or using Complete Esperanto) all the way up to people who are fairly good but not yet at the stage of being fully conversational.

Who isn't it for?

People who haven't yet started learning Esperanto or people who are already experienced, fluent speakers. Sorry!

What if I need help with travel and accommodation costs?

Drop us a line using the contact form before the event, or tick the box on the sign-up form which says that you would appreciate some financial help! EAB does offer educational grants to people resident in the UK so you might well be able to access some support.

Aliĝu al la Brita Kongreso de Esperanto 2024!

Eblas nun aliĝi al la Brita Kongreso, kiun ni okazigos ĉi-jare, memore al Marjorie Boulton, kiu studis tie kaj pasigis la lastajn 46 jarojn de sia vivo tie. 

1.jpg.7af86a8be1fd6215da6aced83be4250e.j

Ĝi okazos en du proksimaj kongresejoj: Somerville College kaj St Anne's College, Oksfordo, 3–5-an de majo 2024.

Vi estos en amika etoso en spacplena prelego-ĉambro, kun refreŝigaĵoj surloke. Ĉeestos gastprelegantoj invititaj veni el transmare, kaj pluraj aliaj prezentantoj.

Vendredo:

  • La programo komenciĝos je la 15:00 en la Flora Anderson Hall de Somerville College.
  • Laŭvola bankedo okazos vespere en la Manĝohalo de Somerville College.

Sabato:

  • Plena tago de programeroj en la ĉambrego Mary Ogilvie en St Anne's College's.
  • Plena tago de programeroj en tri ĉambroj en Somerville College.
  • Laŭmendaj lunĉoj ĉe St Anne's College.
  • Refreŝigaĵoj por ĉiuj ĉe St Anne's College.

Dimanĉo:

  • Jarkunveno de EAB ĉe St Anne's College de la 10:00 ĝis la 12:00.
  • Alternativaj aktivaĵoj por nemembroj ĉe Somerville College en la mateno.
  • Laŭmendaj lunĉoj ĉe St Anne's College.
  • Refreŝigaĵoj por ĉiuj ĉe St Anne's College.
  • Posttagmezaj aktivaĵoj por ĉiuj ĉe St Anne's College.

Indas resti en Oksfordo post la fermo de la kongreso:

La lundo estas feritago en Britujo. Kial ne ĝui Oksfordon, Woodstock, Blenheim Palace: vi jam estos surloke!

En la marda posttagmezze ni starigos malgrandan ceremonion memore al Marjorie Boulton ĉe Somerville College en la tago, kiam ŝi festus sian 100-an naskiĝtagon.

Por kiu taŭgos la kongreso?

Por ĉiu esperantisto, inkluzive de la relative novaj, kiuj faris iom da studado, sed estas alie senspertaj. Estu bonvenaj! Estos aktivaĵoj aparte por komencintoj kaj progresantoj.

Tranoktado

Estas multe da hoteloj en la ĉirkaŭaĵo, sed Oksfordo estas monŝtela urbo, kaj tranokti en ĝi estas multekoste. Tial ni rekomendas bonprezan hotelon, kiu troviĝas kvin kilometrojn for, apud bus-servo, kiu bezonas nur dek minutojn por atingi haltejon en Woodstock Road, kie situas la du kongresejoj. Kontrolu ĉe britakongreso.org por pli da informoj.

Subvenci-ebloj

Ĉu vi deziras partopreni sed ne povos pro la kosto? Ni proponas subvenciojn al homoj, kiuj kutime loĝas en Britujo. Se tio interesas vin, sendu al ni mesaĝon ĉe eab@esperanto.org, aŭ uzi la kontakt-formularon ĉi tie aŭ ĉe britakongreso.org.


Kiel mendi:

  • Vizitu britakongreso.org por legi pli da informoj pri la kongreso, inkluzive pri la prezoj kaj laŭmendaĵoj.
  • Poste alklaku iun el la pluraj butonoj Aliĝu troviĝante tie; la unuan vi trovos paĝsupre:

OnPaste.20240224-172746.png

(:en: You can switch to English using the dropdown on the left.)

Kun tri ĉambretoj en Somerville College kaj 150-personan ĉambregon en St Anne's College, estos multe da spaco por homoj kaj aktivaĵoj!

Ankaŭ vi povus kontribui al la programo. Eble vi volas prezenti fulmprelegeton (prezenteton maksimume kvin minutojn longan) aŭ amuziĝu per muzikumado (Jack Warren starigos sesion Ni muzikumu! kiel lastan jaron en Kembriĝo). Pro tio, ke Marjorie Boulton estis dramaturgo (ne sufiĉis elstari pri poezio, noveloj, eseoj ...) mi opinias, ke estus plezure prezenti unu el ŝiaj teatraĵoj. Se tio ŝajnas al vi alloga, sciigu nin, ĉu per la kontakt-formularo, ĉu per la aliĝo-formularo, kaj ni kontaktos vin estonte, kiam ni havos pli bonan ideon pri la populareco de la propono.

Sign up to the Brita Kongreso 2024!

We've now opened up sign-up for the Brita Kongreso, the largest annual gathering of Esperanto-speakers in the UK, which will take place in Oxford from 3–5 May 2024.

1.jpg.7af86a8be1fd6215da6aced83be4250e.j

We chose the city for the 104th Brita Kongreso in memory of Marjorie Boulton; she studied there and spent the last 40+ years of her life there. The event will be held in two nearby venues: Somerville College and St Anne's College, Oxford University.

You'll be in friendly surroundings in a spacious lecture theatre with refreshments on hand, guest speakers invited from overseas, and a host of other presenters.

Friday:

  • Registration from 15:00 in the Flora Anderson Hall of Somerville College.
  • An optional banquet in the evening in Somerville College's Dining Hall.

Saturday:

  • A full day of programmes in St Anne's College's Mary Ogilvie Lecture Theatre.
  • A full day of programmes in three smaller rooms in Somerville College.
  • Optional lunches at St Anne's College.
  • Refreshments for all at St Anne's College.

Sunday:

  • EAB's AGM at St Anne's College for EAB members from 10:00 to 12:00.
  • Alternative activities for non-members at Somerville College in the morning.
  • Optional lunches at St Anne's College.
  • Refreshments for all at St Anne's College.
  • An afternoon of activities for all at St Anne's College.

You might also want to stay about longer for a couple of reasons:

  • The Monday is a bank holiday in the UK. Why not enjoy Oxford, Woodstock, Blenheim Palace whilst you're already here?
  • On the Tuesday we are holding a small memorial ceremony for Marjorie Boulton at Somerville College on what would have been her 100th birthday.

Who's the event for?

Every Esperantist! That includes relative newcomers, who have done a little bit of studying already but have never been around other Esperanto-speakers before. You're all welcome, and there will be special activities put on for newer learners.

Accommodation

There are plenty of hotels in Oxford but they're really, really expensive. For this reason we recommend a competitively priced one which is three miles away but located next to a park-and-ride service, which takes ten minutes and three stops to reach Woodstock Road, where the two colleges are located. See britakongreso.org for more information.

Educational grants

Are you keen to participate but the cost is keeping you away? We offer grants to help, as long as you're normally resident in the UK. If you're interested, either contact us on eab@esperanto.org, or use the contact form here or on britakongreso.org.


How to book:

  • First visit britakongreso.org to read more details about the conference, including pricing.
  • Then click any of the Sign Up buttons on that page; there are several, including in the menu at the top of the page:

OnPaste.20240224-172704.png

(:eo: Eblas ŝanĝi al Esperanto alklakante la falmenuon en la maldekstra flanko.)

With three smaller rooms in Somerville College and a 150-person lecture theatre in St Anne's College, there's plenty of space for both people and activities!

You'll have a chance to contribute, too: perhaps you'd like to give a fulmprelegeto (a short presentation up to five minutes long) or have some fun with music (Jack Warren will be holding a Ni muzikumu! session). Since Marjorie Boulton was a playwright on top of excelling as a poet, author and essayist, it would be great to put on one of her plays. If you're interested in that, let us know (either by the contact form or indicating via the sign-up form) and we'll be in touch once we have an idea of numbers.
