Summary
Changes in existing education structures and organizations have been announced among the key factors for achieving sustainable development goals. Living in a sustainable world demands understanding of the challenges the international community is facing today. Such understanding can hardly be reached without defining common values and sharing ideas and knowledge necessary for taking actions leading to sustainability in all spheres of modern life. At different levels of educational system children and young adults obtain knowledge and acquire essential skills which are required for sustainable development. Among these skills ability to make decisions, take responsibility, work in a global team, and communicate effectively to reach mutual understanding are named to be crucial. Joint efforts which have to be made to achieve sustainable development in the local and global contexts demand that despite being educated young people must be tolerant, be able to accept diversity and respect different cultures
