Today when we talk about sustainable development, education has a main role in raising awareness with individuals, as well as with students. It is the education that really stimulates creativity, autonomy, collaboration, raises ecological awareness. Education for sustainable development implies action in four main areas: environment, community, culture and economy. It contributes to the very quality of teaching by encouraging collaborative learning and develops thinking skills. This thesis provides definitions of the main terms related to sustainable development and education for sustainable development.An overview of important years and documents that play a key role at the very beginning of the story of sustainable development were also presented in this work. Importance of implementing sustainable development in education and its goals were also explained. An example of the implementation of sustainable development in teaching is shown through the example of an integrated set, i.e.,an integrated day, as well as the positive facts about integrated teaching. The goal of education for sustainable development is to train today's students for the time yet to come. It is important to develop positive values towards the preservation of nature in children from an early age and to raise their awareness about economic growth and development which will possibly disrupt the natural balance.Through upbringing and education, it is necessary to provide students with knowledge about sustainable development so that they can see the importance of mutual relationships, but also the relationship between ourselves and nature, because what we do today has a great influence on how our future will look like.
