The course will demystify concepts and explain the different dimensions of social capital. Participants will be supported to identify social capital outcomes and indicators as well as explore tools for gathering evidence.

Course objectives:

  • To increase knowledge and understanding of the Social Capital Model including an introduction to the concepts and issues as well as benefits of this approach.
  • To enable participants to identify outcomes and indicators relevant to their work relating to bonding, bridging and linking social capital.
  • To raise awareness of evidence gathering and methods including existing data sources, the use of surveys and other techniques to capture social capital within communities.
  • To increase understanding of where social capital outcomes are located within a broader evaluation framework.

The course will include case study examples from CENI’s research and on-going work with organisations as well as provide tutor input, discussion and individual and group exercises. By the end of the course participants will have reflected on their organisation’s contribution to building social capital and considered how the CENI Model might be applied to enable them to better evidence social capital outcomes. This course complements the Introducing Outcomes course but it is not essential for participants to have already attended this course.
