Interest in history is strong and growing. The need for a deeper understanding of history is often highlighted, not least in debates on the role of schools and in the context of social issues at the heart of current political debate. The Swedish History Days work to promote this interest in history through annual conferences. The aim is to maintain the History Days as a meeting place for representatives of historical research, practitioners in the world of museums and archives, history teachers and a public interested in history. The ambition is therefore to present topics and research in a way that is of high quality but also accessible to non-specialist participants. The long-term goal is to use teachers and other professionals as channels to increase the historical knowledge of the public at large, especially the younger generations. For many history teachers, the History Days are the main opportunity for continuing education, particularly in terms of reconnecting with the research community, and for professional historians this forum provides an opportunity to make new research findings available.
