The 6th World Conference of the International Federation for Public History will be hosted by Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, where the first German MA program in public history was established. It is located in the Southwestern part of Germany\u2019s capital. Other partners are the National Council on Public History, the world’s largest public history organization, the German Historical Association (VHD) and its working group on applied\/public history (AGAG), the American Historical Association and the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam (ZZF).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since 2011, IFPH has been dedicated to building an international and multi-lingual community of public historians working both outside and inside academia. The main role of the Federation is to foster the development of Public History worldwide, creating and coordinating networks and national associations for public history, promoting teaching, research, theoretical inquiry, and other activities that engage the public with the past, history and individual and collective memories.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Berlin, which has been called the \u201cRome of contemporary history,\u201d is an ideal location for a major meeting of public historians from across the globe. Like few other places in the world it offers many different layers of history, that not only still matter and are controversial locally or regionally, but nationally and even internationally.<\/p>\n
