This article addresses how the global and local aspects of social work can be integrated into the internationalisation of social work education. Building on the transnational perspective, it introduces a transcontextual perspective, through which students develop critical and reflective knowledge about the importance of context in shaping social work practices. Such a perspective implies a dynamic understanding of social work, whereby any given social work practice can be understood as a contextual enactment. Using one short-term Sino-Norwegian exchange programme as an example, the article demonstrates how a transcontextual perspective can be implemented to foster transcontextual reflectivity among the students
