In response to the importance of preparing learners for the demands of living and thriving in a fast-changing world, this study explored how three Grade Four Life Skills teachers enacted project-based learning (PBL) in their classrooms following training as part of the Ecubed (E3) project on PBL. The aim was to understand how teachers implemented PBL in their classrooms and their experiences with applying PBL following training from E3 on effective PBL practices. Utilising semi-structured interviews, observations, and stimulated recall interviews, the study revealed that teachers grasped certain PBL elements and recognised factors enhancing its implementation, leading to improved learning outcomes. Nevertheless, challenges hindering successful PBL implementation were also identified. The findings underscore the potential of PBL, with appropriate intervention and motivation, to deepen learning, nurture an entrepreneurial mindset, and equip learners with competencies to live and thrive in a fastchanging world. This research contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on effective teaching methodologies and their impact on learners' readiness for the challenges of a fast-changing world.
