The National Sections play an important role in TEJO. The committee of TEJO, for example, consists of delegates from these National Sections and they, together with other delegates, decide the course of TEJO.

We are always pleased to welcome new National Sections (which is usually the case that each Country is entitled to one National Section). There are a few criteria for the application of new National Sections: with reference to the Regulations of TEJO (available only in Esperanto), Chapter 2 – Statute, Article 8 – National Sections:

1. it unites young Esperantists within national boundaries;
2. it supports the goals of TEJO;
3. it can be either a separate or integrate part of a national association registered with the UEA;
4. it is organised according to the law of the country concerned;
5. its membership is open to all without limitations of nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation and expression, disabilities, religion, political affiliations, social background or language;
6. membership in it is without coercion; and
7. it is democratically led.

If you wish to find a new National Section, or if you are the new leader of a National Section, please read the tasks and responsibilities for the leaders of National Sections (only available in Esperanto).
