This workshop aims to support participants to be able to plan an interdisciplinary Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach, exploring several dimensions of PBL. The conceptual fundamentals, such as framing PBL in the Active Learning continuum, PBL principles, project typologies, and PBL models, will be briefly discussed, serving as a basis for the workshop. During the practical part of the workshop, the participants will experience a simulation of a project, working in teams to develop a plan for a specific PBL approach. At the end of the workshop, the participants will present a visual and simplified plan for their proposal in a gallery walk. After a short presentation of one specific example, at the end of the workshop, the participants would have clarified some of the main elements of PBL, leaving a seed that can be deepened. The activities were planned inductively, and carried out in teams, with three main parts: basic concepts (1); planning a PBL approach (2); examples and discussion (3).
