Abstract: An exploratory case study is presented here, investigating the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in an educational institution. Through the development of a project centered on non-fictional comics, a proposal is crafted to integrate curriculum content from language, literature, and geography with the aim of achieving meaningful learning outcomes. Method: Collaborative action research is grounded in the construction of shared knowledge, facilitated by the cooperation between researchers and the teaching team to design a project in a fourth-grade primary school classroom in the town of Bytča, Slovakia. The objective is to examine the benefits generated by this experience within the learning community. The following tools are employed: qualitative analysis of student work and their oral presentations, unstructured interviews, Learning Journals of teachers and researchers, as well as observation and evaluation rubrics. Results: The delivered benefits are described, and some challenges are identified, which are addressed to find solutions. Discussion: It is revealed that PBL, through integrated thematic projects, constitutes an enriching methodology that contributes to enhancing the quality of education. Moreover, there is a call for expanding this experience to other contexts and for further promoting collaborative research between schools and universities.
