With our operational work, in our networks and with cooperation partners, we face the current challenges of our society.

How the past impacts the present: Our “History and Politics” area aims to create a deeper understanding of historical events and political contexts. Our projects highlight how the past shapes our present and how we can successfully shape the future. International conferences, history competitions, history festivals or spaces of remembrance in digital worlds: We work with dedicated experts from politics, academia and civil society, both nationally and internationally, and strive to strengthen democratic values and social cohesion.

New technologies and new generations raise new questions about history and call on us to renew our understanding of the past. Our eCommemoration programme opens up a space for historians, memory workers, digital pioneers and creative minds from across the globe to discuss new perspectives of participatory commemoration. We invite you to explore history and memory with us – in Video Games, Social Media and Extended Reality.
