Abstract |
The
aim of this research was to establish - through retrospective accounts
of participants - the nature and significance of the changes experienced
through involvement in community learning and development (CLD) projects.
The key aspects selected included building social networks, developing
civic participation, changing power relationships and building connections
and trust. Another related aim of the research was to develop a research
tool for CLD projects to use and assess their effectiveness in reaching
social capital outcomes with their participants.
