International Events

International Humanist and Ethical Union World Congress

Picture
Post Conference Reception
The International Humanist and Ethical Union's holds an international congress every three years in different parts of the world. Past congresses took place in Oslo, Washington, Paris, Noordweijkerhout (Netherlands), Mexico City, Mumbai and Amsterdam. Each congress is organised by a host member organisation in conjunction with the IHEU executive committee. The next congress is to be held in 2014 in association with member organization the British Humanist Association (BHA) in Oxford, England, on August 6–11, 2014. Hopefully, some of the Cork Humanists will attend this event particularly as it is so near. 
The congress has many aims including:
  • Bringing together members of IHEU’s Member Organisations and individual supporters to discuss matters of concern, to learn and to draw inspiration from each other.
  • Focusing global humanist attention on selected issues, so that an IHEU position on the issue can be formulated.
  • Showcasing the role and aims of IHEU, promoting knowledge and understanding of IHEU among other NGOs in the region.
  • Creating increased visibility for IHEU and humanism in the media – thereby achieving a generally raised profile for Humanism and humanist concerns in the region.
  • Helping build a network of international contacts among Congress participants.
  • Creating opportunities for IHEU-kindred organisations to participate in our activities and meetings, on a reciprocal basis.

 International Humanist and Ethical Youth Organization

From the 2nd. until the 6th August 2013, the 'European Humanist Youth Days' (EHYD) will bring 450 young people from the four corners of Europe to Brussels for a major conference exploring the ideas and visions of youth on the future of Europe. Thematically, these perspectives will converge around three axes: politics & society, science and ethics, and humanism in the 21st. century. One or two of our 'youths' are going to be going along. If you would like to come along contact us. See the following document for more details http://ehyd.eu/brochure.pdf
