Saint Petersburg and New York City may not have much in common, but both have the honor of hosting two important Esperanto conferences -- the World Congress of Young Esperantists and the US National Conference, respectively.
43rd US National Esperanto Conference
15-18  July 1995
NewYork City, NY
The Esperanto Society of New York, which only last year was chosen as the best local Esperanto group, is hosting this year's National Convention.
Although the Big Apple already has plenty to see and do,  the Convention itself will also offer a variety of serious and not-so-serious programs in nia kara lingvo.
Once again, USEJ will be there and a youth program is planned.  Hopefully, since the Northeast is the home to a large number of USEJ members, we can expect a fairly good crowd of young Esperantists.  Plus, with the proximity of Quebec, maybe even a few of our "neighbors" from KEJO will be able to stop by.
51st World Congress of Young Esperantists
31 July - 7 August 1995
St. Petersburg, Russia
A highly experienced team of Russian young people will be planning this year's IJK, which, oddly, is only the first ever to take place in Russia.
The team is placing a special emphasis on active participation, not only in the IJK, but also the Esperanto movement itself, thus the theme "Aktivismo:  Junularo kiu ne nur dancas".
Since the Rusian people prides itself on the arts, cultural and artistic events will take center stage at the 51st IJK.  In fact, the first persons to register for the IJK were members of the Swedish rock group Persone.
