What were the consequences of the "Ottoman conquest" in the different parts of the Balkans? What were the Balkan Wars about? What happened in the Balkans during the Second World War? 60 historians and history teachers from 11 Southeast European countries have collected historic material (pictures, testimonies, literature, treaties, newspapers etc.), blended together in four history workbooks published by the Center for Democracy and Reconciliation in SEE in Thessaloniki. Through their multi-national approach, the workbooks want to motivate students and teachers to learn more about their neighbouring countries and to adopt a more critical perspective towards history. The books have already been translated into Serbian and the Serbian authorities have allowed its use in schools.
