The study examines the CAMPS project, funded by the European Commission, and implemented by the EuroEd primary school in Iasi, Romania, along with other educational institutions from Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Romania. It brings to the fore the use of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology in primary schools, a method commonly used in secondary education. The project aims to raise awareness of the role that the use of CLIL methodology may play in primary schools, particularly in the arts and music classes. The article gives insights into the project's goals, target groups, key findings, and the online training programme. It focuses on the main teaching tools that were created for primary school teachers within the project: the CLIL-based educational videos and their accompanying lesson plans illustrating the CLIL methodology and providing information about their reception by beneficiaries. The project explores different uses of videos and lesson plans that have become part of the teacher educational landscape and gives practical examples of how to incorporate these teaching tools into teacher professional development.
