The target groups are, first of all, students and young people, including school children, and those who are responsible for their formation: teachers and teachers associations, Universities and University professors including scientists and engineers; second, those who cultivate an historical outlook such as local, national and international historical bodies, associations and journals; finally, on a larger scale, the media, the general public and public opinion."
