Education authorities, in developing guidelines for writing and evaluating history textbooks for primary and secondary schools. Shortly after the guidelines were adopted, a new and substantially improved generation of textbooks was published. To facilitate more effective use of these textbooks on the part of teachers, a number of teacher trainings were organized, and a teacher’s manual on multi-perspectivity and contemporary history teaching in schools has been developed, published, and distributed. Building on past achievements, and aiming to integrate the reform of the broader history-teaching curricula into the work of competent institutions, the OSCE developed and implemented a project on promoting reconciliation through education. The results of the project were manifold, with the most important being the development of a common core curriculum and standards for teaching history. These should serve as a framework for teaching and learning about the culture and common values of people of other ethnic or minority groups. With the support of the OSCE, the common core curriculum for teaching history has been incorporated into pre-school, primary, and secondary education. The OSCE has also, together with the international community and national stakeholders, organized a conference to present the common core curriculum to education institutions, experts, and the wider public. Throughout the process, the determination and co-operation of education authorities and institutions was vital to the achievement of results. 48
