The Social Capital World Forum (SCWF) was launched to bring together organisations (civil society, NGOs, social enterprises, academic, statutory sector, etc) working at a regional/national level with social capital as a key resource for enhancing community well-being and resilience. The SCWF believes that knowledge of social capital structures can bring about a more sustainable and prosperous society. We aim to integrate a common language that will facilitate the progress of our communities socially, environmentally and economically.
Objectives
Connect regional / national practitioners, intentionally using social capital to enhance community wellbeing
Share knowledge and experiences of ‘social capital in practice’
Build a collaborative network for effective future communication between SCWF participants
Expand opportunities to promote the value of social capital regionally, nationally and internationally
To achieve this the format of the SCWF will:
Facilitate discussion and cooperation
Demonstrate and promote policies and practices that deliver social, environmental and economic sustainability
Build new partnerships and initiate collaboration on new projects
Connect SCWF with regional/national social capital initiatives
