In the ceremonies sub-project we start with humanist weddings.  Later we will deal with other humanist ceremonies; naming ceremonies, coming of age-ceremonies, funerals and more. 

Vision for the sub-project on humanist weddings:

• To make humanist weddings in Europe available to everyone, regardless of where they live and where they want to marry

• Standardization and accreditation
  By the end of 2024, EHSN partners agreed on a European Humanist wedding standard and a protocol to accredit our partner’s wedding services according to this standard. An accreditation board has been established and will start working in September 2025.
• Spreading the word about humanist weddings to everyone in Europe and beyond
  Our main measure to achieve this goal, is the establishment of a Humanist wedding portal for everyone (Humanistweddings.eu). 17 countries are represented by August 2025. Our top priority from the autumn of 2025 is to market the portal and develop it further. 
• Targeted growth initiatives
  These are initiatives to improve our capacity to deliver accredited humanist weddings in areas where there is room for improvement. We have started a pilot project in Luxembourg.
