The European Working group (EWG) is a group of European IHEYO member organizations working together. The EWG has had two face to face meetings to coordinate the international exchanges taking place at events organized in Europe.

IHEYO European Working Group meeting, 25-26 February 2012, Germany

IHEYO organized its second European Working Group meeting last February in Berlin. Active humanist youth members were present from: different humanist organizations in Belgium, the Jong HV in the Netherlands, AHS from the UK, HU from Norway, several groups from the BundesJuhus and HVB in Germany, and humanist organizations from Poland.

The meeting started with an update on IHEYO, its fundraising strategy, some of the activities and its role in IHEU. The group brainstormed on celebration activities for the IHEYO ten year celebration such
as making a piece of art or collecting pictures. And three members formed the auditing committee and went through the 2011 IHEYO accounts, checking if all costs were spent correctly, and what improvements can be made.

The group talked about two upcoming events: the international humanist
youth weekend held end of April in the Netherlands, and the European
Humanist European Youth Days, held next year.
