Advisory Committee for Easy Language

Activities in the field of Easy Finnish are guided and coordinated by the Advisory Committee for Easy Language which has been operating since 2000. 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.

There are representatives from over 50 organisations on the advisory committee. A list of the representatives can be found on the Finnish-language pages of our website.

Advisory Committee for Easy Language

  • keeps abreast with developments in the field of Easy Language in Finland
  • makes initiatives aimed at improving the status of Easy Language in society and increasing the publication of Easy Language materials
  • takes part in the dissemination and promotion of different Easy Language materials.

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.
