The Displaced Persons Student Exchange Project was a 4-year partnership between 4 Canadian post-secondary institutions and 4 counterpart institutions in Austria, Finland, Poland, and Belgium. The exchange offered 32 Canadian and 32 European social work students supervised, direct-practice experience in community-based social service agencies working with marginalised, excluded or displaced populations in Europe and Canada. The central goal of the exchange was to enhance social work students’ and field educators understanding of the experience of displaced persons and to increase students’ ability to work with this population. Another facet of the project involved faculty exchanges. Over a 3 year period, 9 faculty members were involved in a teaching exchange abroad. This article provides an evaluation of the experience of these 9 faculty members. Data was collected by means of a focus group and the analysis of personal journals and e-mail communications. The themes that emerged were categorised as: challenges faced by project partners; the overall benefits of involvement; and the practice wisdom derived through participation in the project. The article concludes that schools should embrace international field work placements as unique opportunities for professional and personal development for both students and faculty.

Funded by the EU's SOCRATES programme, this has involved the four European sites developing and adapting a prototype module concerning vulnerable older people to fit with their own programme requirements. This paper describes what the process has revealed.
