FIA-LA Meeting in Marrakesh

The FIA-LA group took advantage of the presence of many of its members in Marrakesh for the FIA World Congress in October 2008 to hold a meeting. The group has been meeting yearly within the framework of different regional seminars organised on themes of common interest. Thus, this was a valuable opportunity to assess the work done and ways of making the group more cohesive and effective. Better communication was one of the priorities for the group and it expressed its will to work towards making more Spanish-language resources available on the website. There was also support for the creation of a Spanish-Portuguese linguistic group within FIA, which was then submitted to the Congress as an emergency motion.
