#EFWeek 2024: Empowering Freelancers in Europe

Freelancing in Europe is experiencing continuous growth, yet the working conditions and policies remain stagnant. European Freelancers Week was created to amplify the voices of freelancers in Europe and raise awareness of their important role – and their unique position in terms of working conditions and benefits.

The future of Europe lies in freelancing, and freelancers should have legal protections for their civil rights. Freelancers’ benefits and working conditions should be formulated for their actual ways of working and should ensure that they have protections and benefits just as companies and employees have. As the freelancing industry experiences continuous growth and change, EFWeek changes with it.

The Evolution of #EFWeek 2024:

We are excited to announce the pivotal change that #EFWeek will be experiencing this year! Over the years, we have focused on fostering connections and sharing knowledge among freelancers. However, this year, we will significantly change that focus.

We will still shine a light on the enormous value freelancers bring to the European economy and society. But now we are also committed to a concrete goal.

Our aim is for freelancers to share and exchange ideas, experiences, and skills regarding how best to make the political and structural changes they need locally, based on the principles of the #EFWeek Manifesto.

The #EFWeek Manifesto: Basic Principles and Demands

The #EFWeek Manifesto outlines a set of basic principles and demands to safeguard the rights and interests of freelancers. 

We firmly believe in:

  1. Fair compensation for freelancers;
  2. Access to social benefits;
  3. Protection against exploitative practices; and
  4. Recognising freelancers’ professional contributions.

By advocating for these principles, we aim to create an environment where freelancers can thrive and further contribute to the European economy.

With that in mind, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming #EFWeek events of 2024. Our events are designed to inspire action, raise awareness, and support freelancers in navigating the challenges they face. The workshops and sessions will cover a wide range of topics, including advocacy, building networks, understanding regulations, and financial planning.

Our goal is to equip freelancers with the tools and knowledge they need, find support, connect with like-minded individuals, and strengthen their collective voice.

By coming together, we can amplify our impact and drive meaningful change in the lives of freelancers in Europe. We believe that through collaboration and sharing of ideas, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment.
