Abstract: Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) plays an important role in the preparation of future kindergarten and primary teachers, equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to promote sustainability in their classrooms and communities. ESD not only enriches the professional training of teachers, but also prepares them to be active leaders of change who can inspire and motivate their students to be aware of and respect the natural environment and society as a whole. The methodology of the presented research includes a theoretical part and presentation of practical models. The purpose of the first part of the presented work is to study basic principles and components of education for sustainable development, international and national documents and policies related to ESD, to analyze the methods and approaches for integrating ESD into the training of future teachers. The second part of this article presents a model for working with students preparing to become kindergarten and elementary school teachers, implemented in the academic year 2023 – 2024.

Keywords: Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Teacher Training, Environmental Education, Early Childhood Education and Primary Education, Global Citizenship
