This poster will present and discuss an innovative transnational project that aims to contribute to sustainable language education, integrating concepts of linguistic (Stroud, 2018; Lim et al, 2018) and global citizenship (Akkari, A. & Maleq, K., 2020; UNESCO, 2014)). This project is a collaboration between the University of Teacher Education of Lucerne, Switzerland, and two Brazilian universities: the State University of Campinas and the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul. It focuses on developing multimodal teaching materials that combine linguistic and global citizenship, promoting sustainable linguistic practices and addressing social justice issues (Freire, 1970/2018; Riley et al, 2024). By employing the COIL approach (Rubin, 2022), the project facilitates intercultural exchange and collaboration between Swiss and Brazilian students and educators. This experience not only enriches participants' educational experiences, but also promotes awareness of sustainable language education (UNESCO MGIEP, 2017). Main results include the creation of multimodal teaching materials, the development of an ethnographic film and the publication of joint research articles. The project also contributes to the internationalization of teacher training by incorporating perspectives from the Global North and Souths, ultimately improving the quality of language teaching and learning across borders and continents.
