Enrichment of Social Capital

Social Capital referes to the organisations, networks, relationships and norms that shape the quality and quantity of a society's social interactions. Social Capital is not just the sum of these organisations and networks that underpin a society - it is the glue that holds them together. This Grundtvig funded programme aims to promote social capital, why we need it, what is does, how we measure, how we benefit from it.

Joined Up For Jobs

The Joined Up For Jobs website sets out how Edinburgh aims to help people who need work get a job and enjoy long-term employment - especially those furthest from the jobs market.
