Educators need to engage in continuous learning to ensure that their knowledge and practice responds to the changing needs of society and students. Collaborative approaches in which social capital resource (e.g. knowledge, resource and support) is exchanged with colleagues can serve as an effective way of facilitating such learning.

This webinar will explore the findings of new research on social capital in small communities, focusing on the island of Guernsey as a case study. We’ll explore the strengths and challenges Guernsey faces, from its strong sense of belonging and trust to the growing threats posed by inequality, social divides, and an aging population. The webinar will highlight key opportunities to safeguard and enhance Guernsey’s social capital, including actionable strategies for fostering greater connectedness, building trust, and empowering local organisations.
