The Image of the Other in History Teaching (2006-2009)
The increasing multicultural nature of European societies lends new significance to history teaching and requires, at the same time, a thoroughgoing review of its aims and methods, focusing in particular on ways of developing multiperspectivity.
The current project is part of a cohesive overall effort involving all the Council’s activities in the field of intercultural dialogue.
