80 Years On: Young Perspectives on the Global Impacts of World War II


From May 5 to May 8, 2025, histoCON brought together young people aged between 18 and 27 from around the world in Berlin to explore the global impact of World War II. Eighty years after the war’s end in Europe, this anniversary offered a meaningful opportunity to reexamine its complex history—beyond borders and national narratives.

Through discussions, workshops, and diverse perspectives, histoCON encouraged participants to explore different timelines, bring lesser-known stories to light, and consider how the war’s legacy continues to influence our societies and politics today.
