Our History

A foreigner lost in Buenos Aires observed the difficulty of befriending locals. A social convention was needed to unite locals and internationals. The first Mundo Lingo was organised on July 7th — a flag sticker format devised to let participants self-organise without help from organisers. This would become the unique identifying feature of Mundo Lingo.

The format proved popular, reaching 2,500+ monthly visits. We exported the ‘buena onda’ to Cologne, London, and Montréal. Over the next five years Mundo Lingo opened in yet more cities, reaching 18K+ monthly visits across North and South America, Europe, and Asia.

Events suspended worldwide. We used the downtime to take Mundo Lingo into a bigger mission — enabling communities to self-organise in cities around the world.

Mundo Lingo launched a new proposal to organise communities, establish consensus, and promote solidarity — with an initial soft launch in Buenos Aires, expanding worldwide.
