WHAT DOES FIA DO?
FIA’s agenda of policy and activity is broad and busy. Our work encompasses several fields of activity, among which: International representation FIA’s key function is the representation of its members in the international arena. Most national performers’ organisations do not have access to this important sphere of activity and FIA is able to participate on behalf of its members in international forums, which deal with issues affecting the life and status of professional performers. FIA is active in lobbying governments, international and European organisations and institutions, and it is a recognised non-governmental organisation with UNESCO, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the International Theatre Institute (ITI) and the Council of Europe. At meetings of these and other bodies, FIA has the credibility that comes from its widely based membership and its many years of experience. Union co-operation and solidarity Perfor
