Sharing of ideas about good practice and values in social work education and practice across Europe is a fast developing process. As the emergent post-communist states of Eastern and Central Europe, have developed new economic systems, participatory politics and new social infrastructures, they have sought the advice of Western states on the development of social work practice and education. This paper considers key issues involved in the transfer of ideas from West to East for both partners. The focus is on the development of social work education, and draws on experiences of collaboration with colleagues in Ukraine. Consideration is given to collaboration and detailed exploration of aspects of teaching and learning across cultures as a contribution to the development of social quality. For example, how to develop teaching technologies that are culturally sensitive and delivered by the appropriate teachers; how to examine the competence of social workers across cultural divides and how to evaluate the effectiveness of programmes of learning. This paper is relevant not only to the transfer of teaching across different national boundaries, but there are also messages for social work educators within nation states, who provide social work education to culturally diverse populations.
