A pleasure to speak on 'education not indoctrination', at @oxfordhumanists.bsky.social this evening. Talking about developments around RE, collective worship, tackling illegal faith schools, and what they should mean for a modern, critical, education system.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, our speaker Zion Lights has been taken ill and is not well enough to travel up to Oxford to speak to us tomorrow. However, the venue at the Old Fire Station is booked and will have to be paid for, so we might as well use it! We hope to still welcome you tomorrow evening!

Is humanism more relevant than ever? A packed room at @oxfordhumanists.bsky.social on Friday suggests the answer is a resounding yes. In a world that often feels fractured, the appetite for rational, compassionate community is only growing. Joy to meet so many new people & answer your questions!

Oxford Humanists attended the Remembrance Day Parade on St Giles, joining others to remember all who have suffered in conflict. Diana Naumann honoured us by reading a lovely Humanist message from Deborah Hooper (Humanists UK), reflecting on the value of every life lost. #RemembranceDay #Oxford

We will remember everyone. Everyone who fought, who lived, who died, and every conscientious objector, too. We will remember their sacrifice. We will remember their belief in freedom, and the common humanity that unites us.

Democracy. Freedom. Peace. These are the values we live by as humanists — inseparable, interdependent, and essential. They rest on the freedom to think and believe for ourselves, the right to shape society together, and the commitment to human rights across all frontiers #InternationalDayofDemocracy
On 15 September Humanists UK celebrates International Day of Democracy. Humanists UK logo.
