1968–2008 worldwide

    Paris, New York, Cairo or Berlin:

    In 1968 protests for more democracy happened at virtually the same time across the globe. The aim of this website is to trace global events and motives focusing on the keyword “1968”.

    40 years after the protest movement authors from all around the world look back to the events that happened back then: are there traces of this revolt?

    On the occasion of 2008 – “40 years of the 68 generation” – Goethe-Institutes throughout the world are organizing functions that will trace events back then from the perspective of their international nature and topicality.
