Project results

Here are some examples from different working groups with short descriptions. The game environment enables creative approaches to sustainable solutions, which can later be realized in the real world. The sustainability content-integrated language learning approach (CLIL) was combined with the ideas of multilingualism. Translanguaging was appreciated and supported. Besides their mother tongue, the learners used depending on the project case German, English and French. The mother tongues used were e.g. Finnish, Norwegian, German, French, Czech and Italian.
