British Council

British Council builds connections, understanding, and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education, and the English language. We work in two ways: directly with individuals to transform their lives and with governments and partners to make a bigger difference for the longer term, creating benefits for millions of people all over the world.
We help youthful people gain the skills, confidence, and connections they're looking for to realize their implicit potential and participate in strong and inclusive communities. We support them in learning English, getting a high-quality education, and gaining internationally recognized qualifications. Our work in arts and culture stimulates creative expression and exchange and nurtures creative enterprise.

We connect the stylish of the UK with the world and the stylish of the world with the UK. These connections lead to an understanding of each other’s strengths and the challenges and values that we share. This builds trust between people in the UK and other nations which endures even when sanctioned relations may be strained. We work on the ground in more than 100 countries. In 2019- 20 we connected with 80 million people directly and with 791 million overall, including online and through our broadcasts and publications.
