Starting small, thinking big: how Swedish preschools teach sustainability

In Sweden, sustainability is not just a topic - it’s a way of life introduced from the earliest stages of education. Swedish preschools embed sustainability into daily routines and play, helping children understand their role in protecting the planet and caring for others. Rather than isolating the concept in special lessons, it becomes part of how children learn, interact, and make choices. This model offers valuable insight for preschools around the world, showing that even the youngest learners can begin to grasp and practice sustainable thinking.

Equipping local actors is key for a greener future

BiH SuTra’s partners, the municipalities and the city, are working toward long-term sustainability goals and turning ambitious environmental and development plans into reality requires more than vision - it demands practical skills, technical expertise, and institutional capacity. To support this transition, the BiH SuTra project is helping these communities to identify their most pressing capacity-building needs. Together, we address them through study visits, targeted training, and collaboration with Swedish partners. These efforts aim to equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to implement their transition plans and take meaningful steps toward a sustainable future.
