Abstract
European Union (EU) achieved major progress in terms of economic, political and social integration since Treaty of Rome. Changing global order and EU expansion process forced the Union to generate policies in various areas. Main policy areas include education and culture, as well. EU aims to strengthen intercultural dialogue to advance basic values such as human rights, democracy and rule of law. In this context, teaching and learning intercultural knowledge may be accepted as essential for democratic culture and social cohesion. History teaching in schools is regarded as a tool in order to create European consciousness. Starting from this point, this study aims to discuss EU sponsorship for history teaching in schools to promote social cohesion and active citizenship, as this matter is considered critically important for EU reached a historical milestone to unite Europe. However, EU policies on this subject are not supportive and complementary for member state policies. As a result, a reformative initiative by the EU is evaluated as an utopist act.
