We describe how a transnational educational collaboration offered a new way of facilitating learning of occupational (in)justice in a practical way to stimulate the application of concepts to discipline specific thinking and engage students in debate about new areas of potential practice which are transformational. The educational theory underpinning the project is discussed, together with a description of how authentic learning experiences supported the development of occupational justice knowledge and justice-focused practice.
