CENI (commissioned by DSD) has developed a model and toolkit (referenced in Positive Steps 2005) using the concept of social capital to capture and evaluate the outcomes of the sector's activity.  This one day training course aims to enhance understanding and skills in identifying and evaluating the "added value" aspects of participants' work, using CENI's Social Capital Outcomes and Indicators Framework.  The course will demystify concepts and explain the different dimensions of social capital. 

The course will include discussion and exercises on:

• The concepts and issues relating to social capital as well as benefits of this approach
• The CENI/VCU Social Capital Model and its application to voluntary/community organisations
• Identifying outcomes and indicators relating to bonding, bridging and linking social capital
• Evidence gathering and methods used including existing data sources, the use of surveys and other techniques to capture social capital within communities
