WEBINAR: The practical application of social capital: A general guide
Presenter
Tristan Claridge
Institute for Social Capital
This webinar provides a general guide to the real-world application of social capital and the various ways the concept can be applied in practice. Social capital is vital for a wide range of contexts, from individual personal and professional success to organisational and group performance and community wellbeing, to name a few. This webinar goes beyond narrow academic definitions to outline a general approach capable of incorporating the complexity of social capital in a way that is easy to understand and apply to the real world. Every application of social capital is unique and requires a context-appropriate approach. Tristan will provide a framework for designing theory-informed practical applications of social capital and a brief description of the main ways social capital can be applied.
This webinar goes beyond theoretical abstraction, providing a nuanced and accessible approach to understanding and applying social capital in the real world. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, Tristan emphasises the uniqueness of each social capital application, acknowledging the need for context-appropriate strategies. Join us as we navigate the diverse landscape of social capital, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to tailor its application to your specific context.
