Humanism and African youth: the way forward for a progressive partnership

Africa Working Group (AWG), the regional arm of IHEU member organization IHEYO, coordinating the growth of Humanism in Africa, is organizing a nine-day e-conference to enable young Africans to discuss the fundamental issues of humanism advancement in Africa. Founded a year ago, AWG has watched with keen interest the zeal with which young Africans promote the ideals of Humanism through their activities, amidst crass religiosity. To assist them in achieving more, IHEYO is poised to utilize the partnership and collaboration tools of organizational growth and development, to achieve our common goal of popularizing Humanism in Africa.

Participate

AWG cordially invites all visionary humanist youth groups and individual humanists around Africa to register their interest to participate in the program.

Participation will require a minimum of two hours during the first four days (29th to 2nd) and 30 minutes each day for the rest of the conference, except on the 3rd when everyone must vote on the resolution before midnight. One can participate throughout the day, so easily combining participation with work, study or other commitments.

Interested participant(s) should send an e-mail with the message: 'REGISTER ME' to before 20 October 2006. The reply to the mail will contain further information including the e-conference agenda, guiding rules and other logistics.

This e-conference will be a forerunner to the sub-regional meetings coming up early next year in East and West Africa.
