Sažetak
Education for sustainability (ESD) is one of the key components of the 2030 Agenda. Previous research emphasizes the importance of access to education as early as possible in accordance with the goals and contents of sustainable development. Early childhood education (ECE) teachers’ curriculum is assumed to provide an interdisciplinary ap‐ proach to education for sustainability. The aim of this research was to determine ECE students’ understanding of the concept of sustainability in artistic activities. An empirical study with a quantitative approach was conducted. In total, 104 students participated in the study which was designed to get insight of their understanding about interconnectedness of the art and sustainability. They evaluate artistic activities within three pillars of sustainability. The results show how students mainly understand sustainability in art through material environment (artistic activities with recycled materials). At the same time, they don’t recognise art as sustainability itself (social and cultural pillar). A difference was noticed in understanding of the concept of sustainability between students who have experience with ESD, and those who have less experience.
