As stated on its official website, “on the background of its history during the National Socialist reign of terror, the City of Nuremberg feels particularly committed to human rights.” From the Nuremberg trials to the establishment of the city’s Human Right office, Human Rights Street and the establishment of the Nuremberg International Human Rights Award, Nuremberg’s recent history is paved with a commitment to Human Rights.

Nuremberg is also home to the Bavarian section of one of the EHF’s German Member Organisations, the Humanistischer Verband Deutschlands (HVD) which launched in 2017 a Humanist Festival with conferences, workshops, humor, art, etc. addressing humanist questions and beyond! In 2018, instead of an Annnual Conference per se, EHF members were invited to take part in the second edition of the Humanistentag with dozens of activities available also in English!

The EHF’s 2017 General Assembly and Annual Conference were held in Wroclaw (Poland) from Friday 19 May to Sunday 21 May 2017. Wroclaw is not only a pretty city, it also has a very interesting history: it has contributed greatly to the rise of humanism in Europe as it was one of the most important centers of secular life in Germany during the 19th and 20th century. Many Poles migrated to Wroclaw after World War II, mostly from Lviv (today in Ukraine) and Vilnius (today in Lithuania), both major Polish cultural and university centers. Traditions carried by those migrants contributed to the special character of the city today.

Modern Wroclaw, home of the Polish Rationalist Association and European Capital of Culture in 2016, is known on one hand as the most liberal city in Poland, and on the other hand, home of the most significant nationalist movement. This historical heritage, combined with the current political situation in Poland where various fundamental rights are challenged (including recent attacks on women’s sexual rights), make it a very interesting place for humanists to meet this year.

In 2015, the European Humanist Federation held its General Assembly and Conference in Athens (Greece) on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th of May. Greece has been at the heart of European economic, political and social developments since 2008.

Dramatically hit by the crisis which affected first and foremost the people and particularly women and minorities, Greece experienced democratic contestation but also the rise of violent fascist movements. European humanists gathered in Athens to show solidarity with Greece and its humanist activists who have been very active in defending democracy and fighting extremism and religious privileges in the country.
