If you are aged between 18 and 27: Join the German Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) in Berlin from May 5–8, 2025, to explore how World War II continues to shape our world. histoCON brings together young people from around the globe to exchange ideas, discuss different perspectives, and consider how the past influences the present and future.
History is much more than just numbers and dates – it shapes what we experience today and helps determine what our future will look like. Even 80 years after World War II, its impact is still felt in countless ways – how countries interact, how we remember the past, and even in today’s conflicts. But how does this continue to shape our world today?
At histoCON, you have the opportunity to spend three days exchanging ideas with young people from all over the world, explore different perspectives, and dive into important questions like:
- How do different countries tell the story of World War II?
- Which memories shape our understanding, and whose voices might be missing?
- How can looking back at the past help us navigate the future?
It’s all about coming together to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and reimagine how history shapes our world.
