In the last decade, various experiences have been organized aimed at helping future social work education professionals reflect on the power relationships that define institutions and social policies. These experiences, based on the participation of users of social services (now known as experts by experience (EBE) and as part of service user involvement (SUI), aim to create opportunities for shared learning based on mutual knowledge and understanding of the worlds of others. The research described in this article focuses on the impact that SUI experiences had on future social educators who participated in three (so far) 14-week courses in which fifteen students and a group of EBEs learnt together. Undergraduate students were asked to evaluate the course methodology, the skills they acquired and what they learnt, via two focus groups and 45 individual narrative reports. The results showed that students appreciated learning together in a safe environment, collaborating on activities. They felt that participation helped them improve their socio-personal skills and advance their professional development. They valued the importance of learning together as an instrument of social transformation. Our research suggests that SUI or EBE involvement experiences, based on learning together in initial training as an instrument for transforming socio-educational professional practices, are valuable.
