SPARK Communities

Boosting the social capital of those excluded

Social capital, meaning the ability to benefit from positive human connections, can have a major impact on one's ability to move along the career ladder.

If you want to get ahead in the world who you know matters . Unfortunately, that also means that without a healthy dose of social capital, your potential growth can be stunted simply because you don't have access to the right people. And ultimately, this prevents upward social mobility for individuals full of potential. This is especially the case if you've been systemically and structurally isolated.

Introducing SPARK Communities

SPARK Communities aim to counteract the social capital gap racialised individuals have accumulated by creating inspiring pan-European networking spaces for racialised individuals working in sectors where they are under-represented thereby building curative networks that help lift everyone's social capital.
