The professional development of Higher Education teachers in Education for Sustainability is a priority to provide quality to universities and thus responds from this area to socio-environmental issues framed in the 2030 Agenda through the Sustainable Development Goals. This research aims to value an experience of teacher training, professional development and the mentoring program 'Academy Sustainability Latin America' (AcSuLA) carried out between several Spanish universities and several Latin American universities from three different countries (Colombian, Peruvian and Chilean universities). The methodological logic of participatory action research, in a framework of Network Type 4.0, and the mentoring strategy have allowed us to identify facilitators, barriers, and future challenges present in the training processes of the Latin American universities participating in the sustainability program. The results show the barriers and facilitators in 7 dimensions of analysis (curriculum, teaching staff, academic leaders, institutional culture, institutional leadership, local context and global context) that show how the lack of support and commitment from the university political framework or the lack of allocation and recognition for belonging to the project can have some significant difficulties when implementing the program. Although, a set of facilitating elements of the process that have to do with the generation of synergies and interpersonal and interinstitutional work networks overcome these obstacles, and favor a change in the management models and teaching practice that make this project, an innovative initiative to exploit and expand to other contexts ​
