Kontakto

Kontakto is a magazine for people who are interested in other countries, peoples, cultures and societies. Kontakto (meaning Contact) is read by young people (and all those who feel young) in approximately 90 countries; its collaborators also come from around the whole world. Especially for beginners, some of the texts appear in "easy" and "very easy" language. Kontakto is one of the most beautifully illustrated Esperanto magazines. It is jointly published by TEJO and UEA, with six issues appearing yearly. Individual members and patrons of TEJO receive Kontakto automatically. Others can subscribe to it through a UEA subscription agent or directly from UEA (prices vary depending on the country). Joint subscriptions (from six copies upwards) are also available, with a discount of 40%!
