The involvement of service users and carers, Experts by Experience (EBE), in social work education at the Catholic University of Milan, Italy, and the University of Dundee, Scotland, is rooted and connected epistemologically and pedagogically. Differences emerge in how these roots are manifest in the models of EBE involvement adopted in the two universities. This article explores these similarities and differences through discussion of the different models of EBE involvement in use at the two European universities, and thus provides a comparative European insight into approaches, experiences and impact of EBE involvement in social work education. The authors contextualise the pedagogy and core values underpinning EBE involvement and introduce the concept of ‘inspiring conversations’. The comparative analysis is centred on five areas of EBE involvement in social work education: context and types of involvement; recruitment of EBE; roles and responsibilities of EBE; resource implications; and impact and outcomes of involvement. The article calls for a focus on ‘Coherence’, ‘Prudence’ and ‘Sustainability’ as a foundation for other universities to enhance their social work programmes through cultivating EBE involvement to co-create knowledge to inform future innovative practice.

“鼓舞人心的对话”：对意大利和苏格兰社会工作教育中专家参与程度的比较分析

服务使用者和看护者，经验专家（EBE）参与了意大利米兰天主教大学和苏格兰邓迪大学的社会工作教育，这是认识论和教学法上的根基和联系。这些根源在两所大学采用的EBE参与模型中如何体现出差异。本文通过讨论两所欧洲大学使用EBE参与的不同模型来探讨这些异同，从而从欧洲角度比较EBE参与社会工作教育的方式，经验和影响。作者将支持EBE参与的教学法和核心价值观情境化，并介绍了“启发性对话”的概念。比较分析的重点是EBE参与社会工作教育的五个领域：参与的背景和类型；招募EBE；EBE的角色和责任；资源影响；以及参与的影响和结果。文章呼吁关注“一致性”，“审慎性”和“可持续性”，以此作为其他大学通过培养EBE参与共同创造知识来为未来的创新实践提供基础来增强其社会工作计划的基础。
