One day.
One language.
One world.
Every year on September 26th, Esperantists everywhere step outside their circles and open the door to everyone else.
Behind every door, someone who hasn't heard of Esperanto yet.
Varbado-Tago is the day we go and knock. 12 days to go.
Why a recruitment dayNo government funds it. No corporation markets it. It grows because people share it.
Esperanto has survived for over 130 years the same way it started: one person teaching another. Varbado-Tago makes that sharing collective: one coordinated day, worldwide, when every Esperantist becomes a recruiter.
Every year on September 26th, Esperantists everywhere step outside their circles and invite the public into the Esperanto world. Not a conference. Not a congress. A day of open doors.
Pick one. Five minutes is enough.
You don't need fluency, a budget or permission. You need one person willing to listen.
Pop-up table
"Learn Esperanto in 10 minutes" in a park or café. A table, two chairs, a phone.
Open house lesson
Local speakers host a first lesson. Doors open, no sign-up, no homework.
Fairs and festivals
An Esperanto kiosk at the language fair your town already runs.
One post
A story, a reel, a thread. Say what Esperanto did for you and where to start.
Posters and flyers
Around universities, libraries and noticeboards. The starter kit has print-ready files.
Chalk on the street
One sentence on the pavement: "Saluton! Ĉu vi parolas Esperanton?"
The one simple ask: introduce Esperanto to one person.
Schools and libraries can host a demo class. You can just tell a friend. Both count, and both are the same act.
A day the world already spends thinking about languages.
September 26 is the European Day of Languages. Varbado-Tago plants Esperanto's flag in that same soil: proof that a language built for everyone deserves a seat at the table.

Every pin on the map began with one person deciding to show up. The starter kit gives you the table sign, the ten-minute lesson and the flyer.
