Between July 26 and August 2, 2025, 1,132 people from 63 countries gathered in Brno, Czech Republic, to participate in the 110th Universal Esperanto Congress. We discussed the theme “Esperanto and Technologies as Bridges of Peace and Trust Among Peoples.” Through our own actions, we demonstrated how effectively the international language Esperanto serves as a bridge between speakers of different languages from various countries, with diverse experiences and opinions. By limiting our discussion of new technologies to their communicative aspects, we produced a report and, based on it, the following resolution:

• We note with satisfaction that new communication technologies have enabled significant growth in the number of practically reachable Esperanto speakers, making knowledge of Esperanto in a connected world increasingly valuable for fostering peace and trust among peoples;

• We observe that artificial intelligence (AI) for machine translation and, consequently, multilingual communication has become inexpensive and widely usable;

• At the same time, we note that incentives to learn foreign languages are weakening, partly due to the use of AI, and linguistic equality is diminishing, leading to cultural provincialism;

• We express concern about the overwhelming proliferation of digital tools through which many people tend to join like-minded information sources, reinforcing societal polarization.

We emphasize that Esperanto, due to its systematic features, is fully suited as an international language and already has a global community of speakers who, as a movement, support respect and appreciation for foreign languages and cultural diversity;

Therefore, we call on governments and civil society in all countries:

• to return to teaching neighboring languages and introduce Esperanto as a school subject to strengthen direct contact with neighboring cultures and a neutral approach to other languages;

• and to work toward enhancing the status of local languages and Esperanto compared to that of hegemonic languages.

We conclude that:

• mutual trust can contribute to a harmonious, respectful, safe, and intercultural social environment and reduce divisive forces in society;

• respect for local cultures carried by local languages is thereby strengthened, while social cohesion for peace is reinforced;

• thus, new communication tools will help build bridges among peoples, and the tendency toward barriers and polarization will weaken.
