Abstract: The low level of sustainability literacy among primary school children, especially in economic and environmental aspects, is a key concern. This program aimed to improve the sustainability literacy of students at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School (SIWS), Thailand, from an early age. The method involved online interactive training using visual media, educational games, and two-way discussions. The activity was attended by 35 students aged 10–12 and supported by 6 teachers as facilitators. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests (5 questions) and reflective discussions with teachers. The results showed a 30% increase in students' cognitive skills, especially in basic financial management and eco-friendly behavior. Moreover, students demonstrated improved soft skills, such as confidence in asking questions and expressing opinions in a foreign language. This activity proves that contextual and visual approaches are effective in building children’s foundation of sustainability literacy.
