In today’s rapidly evolving society, there is an urgent need for educational models that address both digitalization and sustainability. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) skills are essential for equipping students to solve global challenges. Yet, traditional education struggles to integrate these competencies effectively. The PROMISED project (PROMoting twin transitions through Integrated STEAM in bilingual Secondary Education) introduces an innovative approach, combining STEAM with Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in secondary education, while focusing on bilingualism, sustainability, and digitalization.

PROMISED aims to develop an interdisciplinary didactic model that enhances creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation. It emphasizes language learning in three bilingual contexts: Spanish, English, and French.

The project has developed a validated pedagogical framework, forming the foundation for all teaching materials. Storytelling, particularly through Graphic Novels, is used to introduce real-world challenges, making learning more engaging for students. An eTwinning project has been launched, creating an international platform where educators collaborate and exchange best practices.

Currently, the project is focused on the co-creation of teaching materials, involving lecturers, researchers, students, and teachers. These materials, which integrate sustainability and digital skills, are being prepared for testing in pilot schools from March next year.

The pilot phase will provide valuable feedback for refining the teaching materials. Following this, guidelines for teachers will be developed to support effective implementation. These guidelines will offer practical strategies for integrating digital tools, sustainability, and interdisciplinary STEAM approaches.

All materials, including teaching resources and guidelines, will be freely accessible as Open Educational Resources (OER), ensuring broad dissemination and use in various educational contexts across Europe.

PROMISED’s outcomes include a comprehensive pedagogical framework and bilingual STEAM teaching materials, preparing students for the challenges of sustainability and digitalization in an increasingly globalized world.
