DESCRIPTION:Historical reconciliation remains a critical challenge in East 
 Asia. This presentation analyzes an innovative pedagogical practice within
   "Integrated History" (Rekishi Sogo：歴史総合)\, a new subject intro
 duced to high schools in the 2022 academic year. This practice utilized So
 uth Korean "Korean History" (한국사) textbooks regarding the March 1st 
 Movement (3·1운동) as a "mirror" to foster transnational dialogue liter
 acy. The analysis centers on three transformative stages experienced by th
 e students.\n\nFirst\, Japanese high school students developed an acute aw
 areness of "blanks" in their own history education. By confronting the ove
 rwhelming disparity in volume and detail—one page in Japanese textbooks 
 versus ten in South Korean ones regarding the March 1st Movement—and the
  simplification of perpetrator narratives in Japanese history textbooks\, 
 the students recognized their education’s tendency toward "victimhood bi
 as" and its avoidance of negative national history.\n\nSecond\, the practi
 ce facilitated the diversification of history and the visualization of "th
 e logic of the other." Rather than simply dismissing subjective descriptio
 ns in Korean textbooks as "biased\," students analyzed the underlying soci
 al structures and human voices. Through a "rewriting" workshop focusing on
  Korean history textbooks\, they practiced suppressing emotional expressio
 ns and objectifying facts\, actively seeking a "common language" that enab
 les constructive\, multi-perspective dialogue between Japanese and Korean 
 high school students.\n\nFinally\, the practice culminated in the formatio
 n of future-oriented dialogue literacy. By internalizing ethical protocols
  such as the "separation of fact from interpretation" and "respect for his
 torical pain\," students demonstrated a shift in perspective: transforming
  history from a "seed of conflict" into a "mirror for future friendship." 
 This practice offers a replicable model for cultivating peacebuilders in r
 egions with conflicting historical perceptions.
