Teacher identity, shaped by beliefs, attitudes, and professional practices, guides classroom decisions and influences teachers\u2019 willingness to adopt educational innovations, including interdisciplinary STEM approaches for sustainability. In this talk, I will share our findings on fostering chemistry teacher identity and illustrate how non-formal learning laboratories, such as LUMAlab Gadolin, function as collaborative communities of practice where pre-service teachers learn to connect pedagogy, sustainability, scientific practices, and current chemistry research in their teaching, and begin to see themselves as sustainability-oriented chemistry teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Register via the<a id=\"OWA46226ff8-7320-0b9b-66bd-84a3e6b5ef17\" title=\"https:\/\/www.flomembers.com\/kemianseura\/events\/register\/3def184ad8f4755ff269862ea77393dd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flomembers.com\/kemianseura\/events\/register\/3def184ad8f4755ff269862ea77393dd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\">\u00a0<\/a><a id=\"OWAd46f16ea-ba09-59a6-3a8d-f7e37ac02eb3\" title=\"https:\/\/www.flomembers.com\/kemianseura\/events\/register\/3def184ad8f4755ff269862ea77393dd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flomembers.com\/kemianseura\/events\/register\/3def184ad8f4755ff269862ea77393dd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Place: Chemicum, University of Helsinki, A.I Virtasen aukio, 00560 Helsinki, hybrid event Breakfast from 8.30 am next to the lecture room Programme 9-10 am: Welcome by Dr. Miia M\u00e4ntym\u00e4ki Chemistry Teacher Identity as a Catalyst for Sustainability-Driven STEM Education by Dr. Outi Haatainen Chemistry has a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future, and chemistry &#8230;
