Today is World Humanist Day – a time to celebrate what it means to be a humanist and to share the positive values of humanism.
World Humanist Day is celebrated every year on 21 June and we have been celebrating it since the 1980s. Here are some quick and easy ways to get involved this year:
- Share a few thoughts on social media which sum up why you are a humanist – remember to use the hashtag #WorldHumanistDay and tag us in your posts.
