FAFICS is gearing up for its 50th anniversary next month. The 55th Council takes place at the Vienna International Center from 14-18 July 2025.

As part of the commemorative activities, FAFICS is launching an electronic publication focusing on RETIREES IN ACTION, in the context of its theme: Celebrating 50 Years of Representing Retirees and Families in 2025.

The ePub includes statements from the FAFICS President, key UN officials as well as FICSA, congratulatory messages from Member Associations, narratives on the FAFICS history, the admission of FAFICS member Associations into the Federation, tributes and feature stories, lots of photographs and more!

Watch out for its launch during the opening programme of the 55th FAFICS Council.

The ePub is currently only in English. Plans for French and Spanish versions will be explored later. As soon as it is launched, it will also be available globally through the FAFICS website.
