The European Primary Teacher Education programme (EPTE), a joint project from seven European Higher Education institutions, offers future primary school teachers the opportunity to participate in an international study programme, which includes the development of skills through different courses. The main aim of the project is to depart from the local and national environment and make use of a common European heritage in order to build a new pro-active European citizen in a global world. In 2016, Porto Polytechnic -- School of Education had the opportunity to welcome students from the several institutions and offer a "Plurilingual and Intercultural Education" course, amongst others. Focusing on topics such as "education for democratic citizenship" and "21st century approaches", students had the chance to critically reflect on European citizenship, from a linguistic perspective, and apply strategies for the promotion of intercultural education, by developing and implementing projects in primary school contexts. The aim of this article is to introduce the EPTE programme and its outcomes. By following an ethnographic methodological approach, focused on practices and students' outputs, we will reflect upon the creation of a collaborative and interdisciplinary project work entitled "Luko's Journey", a picture book about refugees in Europe which was made by a group of fourth year primary pupils together with EPTE's teachers-to-be at a local school in Porto. Results showed that a project work approach can aid in the progression of dialogue, promote critical cultural awareness and expedite pupil's cognitive and affective enthrallment and engagement.
