​​More information about the Accessible Associations project:​
The Accessible Associations project aims to improve access to participating in associations by creating material in plain language.
What is an association?
An association is a non-profit group founded with a common purpose, for example for cultural or social causes, hobby groups, trade associations or political parties. Over 1300 associations were founded in Finland in 2023 alone (source: PRH).
Why do we need accessible information about associations?
Freedom of association is a universal right in Finland and is enshrined as one of the basic political rights in the Finnish constitution. However, some people may experience language (or other) barriers to founding their own associations or participating in one as a member or board member. Accessible information aims to empower more people to be able to exercise their universal right to freedom of association and enjoy the benefits of association participation.
