Representation in the committee includes public authorities and organizations, NGOs, universities, research centres and media who want to contribute to the steering and promotion of the status of Easy Language in society.

The work of the advisory committee aims to enhance the flow of information and prevent overlapping work in efforts to promote Easy Language. The committee convenes 3–4 times a year.

Together with the Advisory Committee for Easy Language, we have created an action plan for Easy Language that will be updated approximately every four years. It will provide guidance for all activities that promote and develop Easy Language in Finland. The goal of the action plan is to provide information for those who need Easy Language and an opportunity for them to enjoy culture in the future as well. The action plan is available on our Finnish website.
