This report is the result of a research study conducted in December 2021. The purpose of the research was to identify the needs of history teachers in the region (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo*, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia), to ensure that the resources created by the project met the target group’s needs. The research study took the form of focus groups with 54 participants, all practising history teachers who teach a grade which addresses the recent past in the curriculum, therefore within upper primary or secondary school. To ensure a diversity of perspectives, effort was made to include a geographic balance (participants were recruited from across the country rather than only from the capital), and a variety of levels of former experience with EuroClio.
