TheAssociation of Green Esperantists (Esperanto:Asocio de Verduloj Esperantistaj,AVE) is an internationalnon-governmental organization dedicated to using theEsperanto language, informingGreens about Esperanto, informingEsperantists aboutGreen issues, and translating important documents.
AVE believes that Esperanto should be supported by Greens because it is a language designed to spread peace through international understanding; Esperanto protects the diversity of regional languages against the excessive use ofimperialistic languages; and by using the neutral language Esperanto, Greens can help reduce languagediscrimination during their own international meetings.
AVE was founded at the first meeting of theEuropean Green Parties in 1984 inLiège, Belgium.
