After the collapse of communism and the dissolution of the Soviet Union many countries in Eastern Europe, including Armenia and Ukraine, turned to the West for help in developing social work training as a solution to their burgeoning social problems. As the integration of theory and practice was central to the success of these innovative projects, expertise in practice learning was required. The author was one of many academics and practitioners recruited from the UK to participate. This article describes and analyses different strategies used to develop practice learning within the Eastern European context. The conclusion reached is that attempts to develop training in practice teaching were inappropriate, but that there remains considerable potential for nurturing practice learning initiatives within the surviving state funded agencies and the growing Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) sectors of social welfare.
