In a globalized world, it is increasingly important to be aware of both history and various interpretations about it, not to mention their influence on politics and events in the world today.
The purpose of the organization is to further public discussion about history and to promote the use of historical knowledge for peace-building and conflict-resolution.
According to its statutes, Historians without Borders seeks to address the role of history in conflicts and to bridge the gap between academia and policy makers.
HWB seeks to achieve these objectives by organizing public and expert discussions, participating in general debate in the media, carrying out research and publishing on the theme as well as by taking part in different conflict-resolution processes.
Our aim is to create an international network of experts who can both independently and in cooperation actively promote the HWB objectives in their own countries and communities. This network acts as a basis for a fixed international committee and, eventually, an official global organization.
Historians without Borders in Finland promotes historical awareness, historical debate and the use of historical information for conflict prevention and resolution. The association was founded in 2015.
