This article introduces the Plurilingual Intercultural Creative Keys (PICK) program, which aims to enhance individual adaptability by developing creative, intercultural, and linguistic competencies. Drawing on empirical studies from the past 25 years, PICK emphasizes the interconnectedness of these competencies and their role in fostering personal and cognitive adaptability. The program takes a holistic approach, complementing existing curricula by addressing the educational environment’s curricular, psychological, and sociocultural dimensions. Importantly, PICK seeks to reform educators’ pedagogical methods without altering the existing curriculum, focusing instead on transforming teaching practices within current educational structures. Targeted at teachers, tutors, and homeschooling parents, PICK equips educators with both theoretical insights and practical tools to innovate their teaching approaches. The program consists of training modules centered on each competency, supported by lectures and workshops that promote intrinsic motivation, critical thinking, and a positive psychological climate through project-based learning. Additionally, PICK provides continuous psychological and methodological support to ensure the effective application of its methods. This article also presents a theoretical framework that integrates the concepts of plurilingualism, creativity, intercultural competence, and systemic adaptation. Rather than introducing new empirical data, it synthesizes existing theories and research from educational psychology, cognitive development, and cross-cultural studies. This synthesis forms the basis of the PICK program, offering a conceptual model that positions plurilingual creativity - the ability to think creatively and communicate across languages and cultures - as a catalyst for systemic adaptation. By uniting theories of cognitive adaptability, psychological resilience, and educational methodologies, the article contributes to advancing theoretical understanding while laying the groundwork for future research and practical applications. By bridging traditional academic instruction with the evolving demands of a globalized world, PICK offers a robust framework for integrating soft skills into education. The program’s potential to foster adaptive, innovative, and globally competent learners underscores its contribution to advancing contemporary educational paradigms.
