We are very happy to welcome humanist professionals from all over Europe, during our international EHP congress later this year (4-6 October).
Wednesday the 8th July the EHP organised the first summerclass for humanist chaplains via Zoom. 16 chaplains form 6 countries attended the meeting, which was led by Prof. Carmen Schumann of the University for Humanistics in Utrecht. She started with an lecture and after that there was a lively discussion – also on the chat – about different themes. For instance the question what is a good name for the profession. The reactions were positive, the EHP will develop more activities in this field.
One of the reactions:
“Very valuable to connect with other humanists in the same field. Let`s stay in touch!”
This year we will organize a one-day online summerclass on Wednesday 8th of July. Carmen Schumann of the University for Humanistics will give a lecture based on her recent ARTICLE on chaplaincy. After that we will discuss the article, and look at the chaplaincy situation in the countries of the participants in smaller groups. We will end with a plenary session, and look at the summerschool 2021. Please contact us at humgv@mindef.nl or info@humanistprofessionals.eu if you wish to register.
Due to the Corona crisis, EHP and UvH decided to postpone the Summer School ‘Advancing humanist chaplaincy’ to 2021 (5-9 July).
Feel free to contact us with all of your questions at humgv@mindef.nl
Best wishes and stay safe,
Commission EHP
