European Humanist' Youth Days

It is often said that young people will shape the world of tomorrow. We can all agree it is a commendable statement. However, what if we perform a reality check? The way we look at it, youth as a constitu­ency is often left out of decision making processes.

Instead of paying lip service to youth participation, the voice of young people should be reflected in the way society develops in the course of time. Of course, that voice needs to be legitimized, it should be strengthened and educated, and it has to be subjected to feedback from others.

With the ongoing ecological, social, economical and institutional crises in mind, a critical appraisal of youth on these challenges is direly needed. A group of young people in Belgium got together to see how we can develop this outlook. Hailing from a human­ist background, we think it is an excellent opportu­nity to bring youth from all over Europe together at a conference to discuss these matters from a humanist perspective.

Therefore it is the right time for humanistic youth to think about the future, to discover the richness of each perspective, to congregate with other humanists for discussion and fun, to discover the culture at Brussels and to put the humanistic youth into the spotlight with a 'freeze' protest.
