Open Day for our new Enderby Esperanto Centre

Open Day at the Enderby Esperanto Centre – Come and Explore the Language of Global Connection, Esperanto!

The Melbourne Esperanto Association invites you to celebrate the opening of our new home: the Enderby Esperanto Centre, made possible by the generous bequest of Kep and Dorothy Enderby, and gracious donations from the Australian Esperanto Association and the Esperanto Federation of NSW.

Kep Enderby was a former federal politician and judge, and he and his wife were lifelong supporters of Esperanto’s vision for a fairer, more connected world. We’re proud to honour their legacy by opening this new space dedicated to language, culture, and community.

🗓 Saturday June 7
📍 304/343 Little Collins Street, Melbourne
🕘 Drop in any time throughout the day from 10am until 4pm – stay for a minute or an hour!
