EHSN – European Humanist Services Network

Sub-project: Ceremonies - Weddings

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

How:

  • To negotiate a joint framework and requirements for humanist weddings among the partners, including agreed education standards and certification measures. 
  • Research and create a European humanist online wedding portal for everyone.
  • Spread the word. Making humanist weddings better known
  • And more…

Events:

  • There will be a joint in-person EHSN-seminar in Antwerp, Belgium, 26+27 October 2024. More info on this later.
