Description

What does history mean to you? What do you think life was like in your country 40 years ago? And in 40 years time? Which presentation of history do you enjoy, which do you trust? For the first time questions like these, and many more, have been put to over 32,000 fifteen-year-olds and their teachers in a total of 27 European and bordering countries. The analysis of the amassed data now makes it possible to draw maps of historical interpretation and political opinion relative to adolescent Europeans.

Volume A presents descriptive results on the cross-cultural comparison. Volume B documents the data in detail. The complete data-set on CD-ROM accompanies this publication giving those interested access to further analyses.
