Training
Building Social Capital can be a challenge when addressing the complexities of changing communities. Our programmes support you to achieve mutual gain in all your engagement – that is where statutory organisations, non statutory organisations, and communities work together in a shared space to create fresh relationships, better conversations, and stronger active social responsibility.
When untapped skills, knowledge and competencies emerge, new learning is created. We have a motto in MutualGain – “capture the learning” – and we capture it in a variety of ways as you will see throughout this site. The video below shows our approach to training:
Two of our most recent exciting developments are our online learning platform called MutualiLearn, and our Level 4 OCN accreditation, called Building Social Capital Through Community Engagement. You can achieve this through a blend of on and off line teaching and learning experiences: see more about online learning.
As well as our strengths based engagement methods, we teach a range of additional techniques as listed below:

Check out this feedback from a recent training course:
The inspirational manner of the speaker was motivating. I can see clear benefits to my day job.
As a former trainer at the Scottish Police College I can be fairly critical but I cant fault this. Good blend of facilitative teaching methods, knowledgeable instructor and a good level to pitch at.
Trainer was well versed on the subject and able to answer questions. Good practical participation!
Presentation was well thought out and easily followed.
