This article reports on an experience of training social work practice educators in the Chernihiv law College in northern Ukraine. The purpose of the visit was to examine whether the UK values critical to UK social work training were able to transfer to other cultures. During their visit, the authors taught a five-day module on practice learning and used research tools of questionnaire, structural interviews and focus groups to collate and analyse data that sought to examine the transferability of values. Positive changes to practice teaching were brought about as a result of their visit.
