This research is a synthesis of the results from the Greek and International research and literature on the intercultural dimension of teaching of history in the Greek Primary School and Gymnasium (4th-9th graders). The research focuses on the problems in historical understanding and intercultural communication due to the lack of the intercultural approach in history teaching and on the application of appropriate didactic methods that can enhance both the understanding of the past as well as the different cultural and ethnic groups within a classroom.
