The concept of sustainable development contributes to the improvement of learning and the establishment of social values based on the knowledge and skills of human resources. Thus, there is a need for planned education and the creation of quality management in order for society to slowly move towards the concept of a learning society. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to examine the extent to which a higher education institution can contribute to the above. The research was conducted at the Educons University, Faculty for Project and Innovation Management PMC in Belgrade. On that occasion, it was concluded that the mentioned faculty is an example of good practice in how to educate young people to think about the future and become managers who adhere to the concept of sustainable development. This paper is intended primarily for leaders of higher education institutions in order to gain some insight into aspects of this topic, as well as students to gain more knowledge about the concept of sustainability implemented in educational institutions, and then the general public.
