Since 2011, the IFPH has been dedicated to building an international and multi-lingual community of practitioners. 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 and other activities that engage the public with the past, history and individual and collective memories

The IFPH international conference in São Paulo is locally supported by the Rede Brasileira de Historia Pública (Brazilian Netwok for Public History) and the Grupo de Estudo e Pesquisa em

História Oral e Memória (Study and Research Group on Oral History and Memory). This joint venture will bring together a great variety of professionals from different fields that are truly practitioners of public history to share their experiences, lessons-learned and challenges in this very international forum. We expect hundreds of experts and activists from all the continents to meet in Sao Paulo and have a fruitful discussion about what are the main challenges for public history today. Diverse international experiences and different public history national perspectives will foster rewarding exchanges.
