Nowadays the term Jugendfeier is becoming more popular since the Humanistischer Verband started to use it instead of Jugendweihe about three decades ago to mark that participants will not be consecrated but should experience an unforgettable step into adulthood [REF].
Before the ceremony the youngsters can attend specially arranged events and courses, in which they work on topics like history and multiculturalism, culture and creativity, civil rights and duties, nature and technology, professions and getting a job, as well as lifestyles and human relations [REF].
