The paper focuses on the problem how to improve history education in a Georgian multicultural and multi-confessional environment and especially how to teach sensitive issues of Georgian history. The authors tried to analyze how minorities are represented in the Georgian history textbooks and to assess whether these representations were potential sources of conflict. After analyzing the textbooks and national curriculum in history of Georgia they argue that – despite certain adaptations - they retained their ethnocentric character till today. There are no topics connecting with the history of ethnic and religious minorities with Georgia. However, in spite of those problems, the new national curriculum and the experience of participation in international projects gave the authors, editors and publishers of new textbooks the possibility to consider some important postulates, mentioned in EUROCLIO documents.
