Sustainable development is a worldwide recognized social and political goal, discussed in both academic and political discourse and with much research on the topic related to sustainable development in higher education. Since mental models are formed more effectively at school age, we propose a new way of thinking that will help achieve this goal. This paper was written in the context of Russia, where the topic of sustainable development in education is poorly developed. The authors used the classical methodology of the case analysis. The analysis and interpretation of the results were conducted in the framework of the institutional theory. Presented is the case of Ural Federal University, which has been working for several years on the creation of a device for the purification of industrial sewer water in the framework of an initiative student group. Schoolchildren recently joined the program, and such projects have been called university-to-school projects. Successful solutions of inventive tasks contribute to the formation of mental models. This case has been analyzed in terms of institutionalism, and the authors argue for the primacy of mental institutions over normative ones during sustainable society construction. This case study is the first to analyze a partnership between a Federal University and local schools regarding sustainable education and proposes a new way of thinking.

可持续发展教育项目：乌拉尔联邦大学的证据

可持续发展是世界公认的社会和政治目标，在学术和政治讨论中都进行了讨论，并且对与高等教育的可持续发展有关的主题进行了大量研究。由于在学龄期可以更有效地形成心理模型，因此我们提出了一种新的思维方式，将有助于实现这一目标。本文是在俄罗斯的背景下撰写的，那里的教育可持续发展主题发展不佳。作者使用经典的案例分析方法。结果的分析和解释是在制度理论的框架内进行的。提出的是乌拉尔联邦大学，在一个积极的学生团体的框架下，该公司已经致力于开发一种用于净化工业污水的设备。小学生最近加入了该计划，这些项目被称为大学到学校的项目。创造性任务的成功解决方案有助于形成心理模型。这个案例已经从制度主义的角度进行了分析，作者认为在可持续的社会建设过程中，心理机构相对于规范机构具有较高的优势。该案例研究是第一个分析联邦大学与当地学校之间关于可持续教育的合作关系，并提出了一种新的思维方式。创造性任务的成功解决方案有助于形成心理模型。这个案例已经从制度主义的角度进行了分析，作者认为在可持续社会建设过程中，心理机构比规范机构更为重要。该案例研究是第一个分析联邦大学与当地学校之间关于可持续教育的合作关系，并提出了一种新的思维方式。创造性任务的成功解决方案有助于形成心理模型。这个案例已经从制度主义的角度进行了分析，作者认为在可持续的社会建设过程中，心理机构相对于规范机构具有较高的优势。该案例研究是第一个分析联邦大学与当地学校之间关于可持续教育的合作关系，并提出了一种新的思维方式。
