In force from 17/01/2024

The report emphasizes that a well-informed historical consciousness is essential for fostering tolerance and mutual understanding across Europe.
There is a need to bridge regional and ideological divides, such as those between Western and Eastern Europe, regarding how history is remembered.
Education should shift from mere knowledge transfer to teaching students 'how to think' through updated curricula and continuous teacher training.
Historical teaching must become more inclusive by addressing the marginalization of women and other underrepresented societal groups.
