- Learning in diverse settings during pre-service teacher training equips future primary teachers with the knowledge and skills to teach in au-thentic learning environments later in their work lives. This experi-ence helps to meet the varying needs of their future students who have increasingly diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds with varying levels of access to learning and knowledge. During their uni-versity studies, pre-service teachers need to recognise the value of out-of-school environments, reinforce awareness in practice, and reflect on experiences to deepen pedagogical thinking about learning environ-ments. This multiple case study describes the common practices in the pre-service training of primary teachers at Tallinn University, University of Helsinki and Uppsala University concerning teaching in out-of-class-room learning environments. Our aim was to explore the ways that the three universities support pre-service primary teachers in using out-of-school learning environments in their future practice. We intended to identify practices regarding our respective national curricula and uni-versity courses for pre-service primary teachers. We have three main suggestions for teacher educators regarding learning to teach in diverse environments: enable meaningful and reflective practical tasks in out-of-university learning environments for pre-service teachers; ensure the sustainability of external partnerships by stating collaborative practices in course programmes while leaving flexibility in the details; and reflect on professional networking across the boundaries of institutions.
