Abstract: This paper analyzes the interrelationship between culture, lifelong education, and sustainable local development through the lens of cultural innovation. It proceeds from the premise that sustainability transcends exclusively environmental dimensions to include social and economic aspects, wherein education and culture play a key transformative role. Cultural innovations are viewed as dynamic processes that, through new approaches to cultural production, distribution, and participation, contribute to the creation of more inclusive, resilient, and creative communities. The paper encompasses a theoretical framework of sustainable development (with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals SDG 4 and SDG 11), an overview of contemporary approaches to cultural innovation, and examples of good practice illustrating the possibilities of their application in educational contexts. In conclusion, the need for integrated policies that connect education and culture and recognize cultural innovation as an important instrument for achieving long-term sustainability at the local level is emphasized
