The four Workbooks
In order to achieve the aims set out by the Joint History Project, the CDRSEE, created four Alternative History Education Workbooks, designed to be introduced with teacher training and ongoing teacher support.
The Workbooks are arranged thematically and approach the events of the region in a multiperspective manner.
These materials have been created by aninternational team of teachers, historians, pedagogues, translators and editors over a period of6 years, working in a participative, inclusive and democratic manner. The team comprised around 60 individuals, from all over Southeast Europe and the material in the books is drawn from all of the countries in which the JHP is being implemented.
2 collaborative meetings involving all contributors took place in Thessaloniki and in Belgrade, to design and decide on the methodology and content of the books.

The Workbooks have the four following themes and each book was edited by a prominent historian from the region.
The documents, content, questions, notes, pictures and methods of each book were assessed and edited by teams of independent teachers and historians at workshops throughout the region:

We should arm ourselves with courage for mutual concessions: we should have the courage to forget all selfish national concerns…
