A Petxa Kutxa is a presentation format (20 slides for every 20 seconds) which emerged in Tokyo in 2003 in the fields of art and advertising.

In recent years, it has spread not only in European and American cities, but also in schools due to its didactic potential: it can be applied to any level and subject, the communication skills are worked on, it allows the discourse and the image to integrate and it demands us to think of new ways to bring the discourse closer to the public. In the language teaching, it can also be a way to carry out projects which deal with different languages in an integrated way.
