Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.94,0:01:04.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The congresses and the UKs are largest when they take place in Europe and if it is
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.02,0:01:14.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a strong country of our movement, then the number of attendees is relatively larger than otherwise.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.10,0:01:27.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Recently, European congresses had around 2000, but it's already had more than 3000.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.84,0:01:35.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In recent years, it has been around 2000 or somewhat more or less depending on the region.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.80,0:01:48.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Outside of Europe, it sometimes has less than 1500, but that's also relative, and depends on whether
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.83,0:01:55.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that region or country has a large Esperanto movement or not.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.73,0:02:00.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And where will next year's UK take place, what makes it attractive?

Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.99,0:02:21.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we haven't had an UK in Denmark for several decades.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.85,0:02:27.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The city itself is beautiful and quite attractive as a hot tourism spot.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.10,0:02:43.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Additionally, the congress's Esperanto program will be structured, so that it targets...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.17,0:02:58.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,...everything happens somewhat linked to Scandinavian culture and also around the year of Unesco.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.69,0:03:06.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, could you explain a bit about your work, how do you prepare for the congress?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.25,0:03:13.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, my work is, or the work of the congress department is, that when the congress starts
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.68,0:03:20.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even earlier, when there is a proposal for congresses
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.09,0:03:32.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after the director general's visit, which researches conditions, infrastructure and other necessary aspects.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.16,0:03:42.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Later, when the congress is chosen by the board, we go to the city to have our first meeting
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.10,0:03:51.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the LKK (Local Congress Comittee), to prepare for the congress, so we explain the LKK's work and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.69,0:04:01.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eventually details about how the steps are accomplished.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.69,0:04:10.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, how does this separation of work happen? What do you do and what does the LKK do?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.19,0:04:18.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,LKK aims to do things related to the local aspects of the congress.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.93,0:04:27.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, contact with the authorities, eventual grant requests, which unfortunately have not been as easy lately.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.64,0:04:41.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Generally contact itself, contact with agencies and hotels, preparing the way
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.59,0:04:49.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for when we go to have meetings with those locations and hotels.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.17,0:04:58.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Later, based on that meeting, we get offers and choose the best and most suitable.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.17,0:05:11.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And LKK also has to arrange the honorary committee and also find the high protector.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.75,0:05:16.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is important for the congress.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.39,0:05:18.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what is the high protector?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.97,0:05:29.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A high protector, generally, is someone, usually a politician, an important figure of the country,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.34,0:05:42.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which gives us, the congress something which can help us
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.10,0:05:48.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we need to find a way, for example to request a grant or when we need to contact
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.39,0:05:57.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,authorities for invitation letters or to request invitation letters or to find a solution for some difficult
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.49,0:06:03.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cases of necessary people who need to attend and have some problem related to their visa or travel...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.07,0:06:07.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so, it's someone who gives prestige to the congress.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.65,0:06:23.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We already have had presidents. Historically there were also queens, different politicians, governors, mayor's secretaries, etc.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.66,0:06:36.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that is the work, the need, maybe not really need, but it makes the event appear prestigious too.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.05,0:06:45.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if someone is going to the UK for the first time, what advice would you give that person?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.62,0:07:00.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look, after the Havana congress, TEJO gave us advice, a question, a plea
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.69,0:07:09.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for us to prepare congress information about the people who attend for the first time
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.62,0:07:17.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because typically during the first day of the congress, the first meeting is done
Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.35,0:07:21.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for people who attend for the first time
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.89,0:07:33.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in it, we explain a lot about how it works, and how to enjoy everything
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.53,0:07:40.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as much as possible, but based on TEJO's advice,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.74,0:07:48.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we'll start on something newer, an information campaign to those first time participants.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.64,0:07:52.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course, those who register at the congress itself,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.35,0:07:58.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because people register on site, we can't know if they are first timers or not.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:58.17,0:08:03.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Through our system, the computers which show us who are first timers or not.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.44,0:08:10.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we contact those people beforehand and send them information explaining how the congress works
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.10,0:08:19.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what they can have the best overview of the program.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.70,0:08:24.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we can give advice to first timers.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:24.09,0:08:31.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Certainly, the first time, study the congress book, which everyone receives when they register and get their
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.97,0:08:40.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,congress documents, along with their name badge. The entire week's program is in this congress book.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:40.37,0:08:45.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, first, study the program and then decide which are the most suitable for yourself
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.72,0:08:57.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meetings, lectures, presentations, art performances or even excursions, because the excursions themselves are
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.16,0:09:01.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a way to practice both their Esperanto and also to meet with others.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:01.84,0:09:10.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is there a way to contact others who you don't yet know? Some board or something of the like?
Dialogue: 0,0:09:10.61,0:09:24.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have a rendezvous board in the congress where people can leave messages for others
Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.18,0:09:28.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether they know them or want to meet them for the first time.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:28.59,0:09:37.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first day of the congress, the first evening, the first Saturday, is the Get Acquainted Evening,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:37.38,0:09:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which happens along with the movement fair, so it's two programs in one.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:44.00,0:09:53.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People can get to know each other along with different Esperanto associations.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:53.06,0:09:58.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, thank you for everything and thanks for giving a face to the UK.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:58.31,0:10:01.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're welcome, it was a pleasure.
