Advocacy
The Advocacy Working Group was formed in view of the 2024 European Parliament elections to address concerns and issues relevant to the entire community of translators and interpreters. It has nine members, all professional translators and/or interpreters, each from a different European Member State.
The WG had six brainstorming sessions and drafted a communication that was sent to all MEPs the week before the last plenary week in April 2024.

Fair Work
The working group on Fair Work was set up following the Athens 2023 general meeting to explore how better / fairer conditions of pay and work can be achieved for translators/interpreters in Europe, especially in light of the change in the rules concerning collective bargaining.
The working group’s first webinar can be viewed here.
Inclusion and Participation
The Inclusion and Participation working group was also set up following the Athens 2023 general meeting. Its objective is to explore how member associations can become more involved in FIT Europe activities and how greater attendance at annual/general meetings can be achieved. The working group is currently in the process of running a survey of member associations on these topics.
