Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of the 21st century, modern education faces the imperative to adapt, embracing the cultivation of interdisciplinary and intercultural competencies to prepare students for future challenges. This study investigates the integration of sustainable transport education through thoughtfully designed teaching interventions that adhere to a project-based learning model. The primary objective of these interventions is to enhance students' development of the four critical competencies known as the 4Cs: communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Within this framework, a series of engaging activities were implemented, during which students collaborated to design and construct sustainable means of transport, thereby enabling hands-on learning and practical application of theoretical knowledge. Additionally, the students exhibited understanding of the principles of sustainable mobility, illustrating the successful transfer of knowledge from theoretical concepts to practical scenarios. Feedback from participating teachers was positive, highlighting the efficacy of the intervention and the successful implementation of the proposed instructional methods. This study not only underscores the importance of sustainable transport education but also serves as a model for future educational interventions aimed at fostering essential 21st-century skills in students across diverse disciplinary contexts.
