SPORTS MEETINGS OF ESPERANTISTS OR BY ESPERANTO

        From the end of 2006 year, MondEtur shall organize every odd month, different sport matches.
We are organizing international friendly encounters in: basketball, football (soccer), badminton, table tennis, tennis, volleyball and volleyball on sand, chess, golf. All of those games will be organized for teams or single players.
        We also wish to organize sport contests in not so worldly known sports (for example Thai leg's volleyball) in Thailand or another country where would be shown interest for it's demonstration.
        All cultural and sport presentations are organized for amateurs.
        Prices of organization costs and subscription fee are calculated by the company costs and they are variable.

        Thai sport organizations are willing to show their achievements internationally and target of MondEtur is to organize, together with interested Esperanto organizations abroad, presentations of Thai groups or singles out of the country.

        Every sport collective, who wants to cooperate with us in those activities, is warmly welcomed.
        Language used during all meetings in Thailand is Thai or English, but very much preferred is Esperanto. Esperanto is choose to be used between different groups at our sport encounters because of it's easiness in conversation, easy learning and broad understanding.

Esperanto and sport

        Esperanto group's us by the use of the same language. To realize in reality profound conception of the internal contents of Esperanto we need bring together all our language occupations, find suitable words for describe them and take, eventually, steps to improve them.
        Sport matches are playing in South Africa but the same in Nepal or anywhere in the World. To help people during sport competitions to understand one the other we need try to use Esperanto where ever it is possible. Esperanto already found way to be used in many human activities why not to use it in sport also?
        How to bring Esperanto closer to sport people?

        Many of us are already involved in different sport activities as sportsmen or sport officials and at the same time we are Esperantists. We are engaged in different sport contests. Some of us are swimming, rowing, running, sport walking, weigh lifting, skiing, fencing, boxing or on the other hand playing football, handball, basketball, volleyball, rugby or room sports – chess, goo, cards etc. and we need to understand other competitors if we are sporting internationally. We, of course, could use, out of the country, our native language even easier if we use one of so called World languages (English, French, Spanish and German) but in spite of commonly opinion more widely spread English is not use so often or used by people who pronounces many, many, words wrongly. So we need to use a language which is simple and easy to talk and understandable and above all not own by any one nation in the World. Choose language needs to be propriety of all of us. Such one is Esperanto.

        Esperantists need to initiate contacts with all sport organizations by proposing use of Esperanto in international sport contacts. The easiest way to do it is to help different amateur sport clubs to begin relations with same organizations from other countries by using Esperanto in correspondence. We need to come and contact members of sport comities and after successful initial contacts propose to organize Esperanto courses in their societies. It's evidently when contracts between clubs are signed and sportsmen are coming to other countries everyone of them would like to talk with competitors from host club so they would need common language. If they are already good in Esperanto contacts are very easy and simple.
        Other way of using Esperanto in sport endeavors is use of Esperanto professional organizations, companies, to organize different sport events. In the World are not existing Esperanto sport associations, not Esperanto sport clubs. So unique possibility is to contact sport societies from town or country of our living and ask them to allow their clubs to compete in, from us organizing, events. May be at the start it'll be little bit hard but if we are more persistent and polite no reason why they would refuse our initiative.
        It's very important not to do actions to have only our sport clubs because we are to week to do it and the same time other already existing sport organizations are much, much better to spread internal idea of Esperanto.

     

        Esperanto and sport have a lot of common things – take steps to bring peace in the World, peaceful human togetherness and cooperation, respect and tolerate to all races, nations and ethnic groups, fight for non-discrimination and fair competitions, etc.
        Tasks now intrude to us Esperantists to bring our language to sports environments. How to begin? We need construct a net of delegates responsible in sport affairs in all states associations (delegates could possible to form own groups to divide responsibilities in various actions and different countries). This net would be good phase for what is the earliest possible, for urgently needed, specialist sport union, caring association obligatory on the base of propositions of states delegates and individuals needs to form own strategy.
        Our endeavors concerns environment:
        Sport actions in own country – to organize own sports arrangements, be in contacts with national sport associations and national Olympic comities. In that way we could persuade local sportsmen to learn Esperanto, give propositions to come to trainings fields and rooms to arrange Esperanto lessons for people included in sport organizations. We need write about possibilities of Esperanto to local and centrals sport's periodicals. We need send letters to other countries, to other countries' Esperanto associations, to correspond with friends that they do similar paces in their countries. Ask friends in other countries that they send letters from native countries to our sport organizations, to our sportsmen, to our sport unions, to our editorial departments.
        That letters we write in two languages: Esperanto and language of the country to which one a letter is send. Those letters need consistent theme about opportunities and easiness of Esperanto. We know how in our countries letters from other countries are important. Sport people and journalists will probably ask us because we'll send them many of propositions to use Esperanto and by our correspondence they'll already know our addresses.
        Some years ago in Hungary was edited a good book about Esperanto and sport with necessary terms. We need find the book ask to edit again the same and look for other similar already existing. Sport is a new terrain of Esperanto movement. Already nowdays many active persons works or seat in their niches and do job in that way. One is from time to time afraid of too much to do, afraid of time devour, time taking. We do not need to scare – job isn't so big how it looks. One by habit says people are occupied in Esperanto during time out of everyday duties but professional job and family take of time needed to dedicate to Esperanto and sport terms. But we are obliged to continue talk about use of Esperanto between sportsmen and sport teams.
