About US:

The 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

creating benefit for millions of people all over the world. We help young
people to gain the skills, confidence and connections they are looking for to

internationally recognised qualifications. Our work in arts and culture

We connect the best of the UK with the world and the best of the world with the
UK. These connections lead to an understanding of each other’s strengths and of
the challenges and values that we share. This builds trust between people in
the UK and other nations which endures even when official 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.
