Prague Manifesto (Esperanto)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other things named Prague Manifesto, see Prague Manifesto (disambiguation).
The Prague Manifesto (or Manifesto de Prago) is a set of seven widely-shared principles of the Esperanto movement. It was drafted at the 1996 World Congress of Esperanto which occurred in Prague by officials from UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and attendees of the congress. The document emphasizes democratic communication, language rights, preservation of language diversity, and effective language education.
Since the manifesto is an attempt to show the merits of accepting Esperanto as a universal second language, it is commonly considered to be a modern manifesto of Finvenkismo.
