Social capital

Abstract

Social capital consists of the resources we can draw from social relationships guided by norms of reciprocity, cooperation and solidarity. From a social work perspective, social capital is plural and convergent: plural because it requires the presence of different actors in order to be generated, and convergent because it requires the equal participation of these actors in the construction of the intervention to be implemented, starting from the “push” of an authoritative and strong “activator” who assumes responsibility and ownership of the intervention.
