Crimes committed by totalitarian regimes 3. End note This was clearly a political meeting and the conclusions drawn here will be political. I am afraid that during our proceedings, we were gradually loosing sight of the main topic. I am afraid we are divided between those who want to deal with the issue, and those who say this is not so easy and that everything possible is being done. The German-French reconciliation was based on values. We admire this pattern of action but we are now told that things are more complicated. I would like to refer to what Ms Valič said at the beginning. Hers was a clear-cut case story. There was truth in it. Pontius Pilate once asked what truth was and the price for this question was life. I still hope there will be some continuation of our proceedings with more concrete results. 252
Crimes committed by totalitarian regimes Thomas Hiio Possible common European history school textbook Item not listed in agenda – reaction to press reports 1 1. Line to take This is an interesting suggestion which merits consideration on how it could be developed. The LLP could support initiatives in this area. At the same time we would need to proceed with some caution and to be clear about the purpose of any such initiative. 2. Speaking points I fully support the thinking behind the idea, that we should move away from narrow, nationalistic or ethnocentric interpretations of history and that we should make space for the learning of history which can help to highlight our common heritage. However, I am sure we would all agree that we should not seek to put forward a single European narrative to the exclusion of other narratives. It is preferable to promote an approach to history teaching which takes into account Europe’s diversity and which fosters an awareness of multiple perspectives and the point of view of others. History should at times focus on the European and the global level, sometimes on the national and often on the local level as well. Supporting networking among practitioners, including both academics and schoolteachers, the production of teaching materials, exchanges of thinking about teaching and research methods – all of these would facilitate such an approach and would seem to me to be the best way to proceed. The LLP programme is available to support networks in this area – it has done so in the past – and it should be in a position to support imaginative ideas in this area in the future. In this context, Madame Chair, it would be useful to me to hear more about some of the interesting bilateral activities which have already taken place between German and France and Germany and Poland. 3. Background note There have been reports in the press (UK, Poland and Germany) that Mrs Schavan, with the support of Mrs Merkel and of the Commission, is “to push for the publication” of “a new school history book for the whole European Union” at the Heidelberg meeting. The press commentaries have been at best neutral, at worst quite critical. The Presidency informs us that Mrs Schavan is not pushing the idea at Heidelberg, but it is not clear whether she will refer to it, and in any event there may be questions from journalists and there is also some indication that the idea might in any event be taken up by the Polish Minister. We understand that the idea was first addressed in a press query at the press conference following the Council meeting on 16 February. The Commission has supported a number of multilateral history education networks or initiatives, for example: – Euroclio, the European standing conference of history teachers, which aims to support the development of history teaching so that it strengthens peace, stability, democracy and critical thinking; 1 Formal Meeting of the European Ministers of Education in Heidelberg, 1–2 March 2007. 253
