What's humanism?
Humanism is a worldview that holds people as capable of autonomous moral growth. It seeks to make a world that is not only just, but equitable, for people regardless of age, race, gender, etc. In action, humanism seeks human solutions for issues that affect human beings. For further reading on the principles of international humanism, please read the Amsterdam Declaration.
About the Asian Humanism Conference
The Asian Humanism Conference is a meeting of humanist youth in Asia. It's goals are to help build connections between people and humanist organizations in the region as well as offer training on skills and capacity building to help make groups more effective in the work as humanists. In recent years the Asian Humanism Conference has been held in India,Bangladesh,Indonesia,Nepal, Singapore, and the Philippines as well as other nations. This year, it will be held again in Taiwan, the second time for the conference to be held in East Asia.
About the Hosts
The conference's main sponsor is the International Humanists and Ethical Youth Organization(IHEYO), the youth branch of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU). IHEYO is an umbrella organization that creates links between young humanists throughout the world. The local hosts of the event is Humanistic Pastafarianism in Taiwan, the local humanist organizations in Taiwan.
About the Theme
In this conference, representatives from each country are going to draft the Asian Humanist Declaration, announcing to the world our vision for Asia. Through workshops, each of us from different countries is going to share our experiences and ideas and devise a strategy that can help our communities integrate and interact with each other. Unlike the seminars we did before, which mainly focused on sharing knowledge and experiences, this time we are going to focus on action plans. We hope the development of this area does not stop at merely exchanging opinions. We should utilize resources available in each country to actually promote humanism. This will be a new page in the history of the humanism development in Asia. As the host of this event, Taiwan steps into the global spotlight at this historic moment. This will surely elevate Taiwan's international standing.
