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 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 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 realise their potential and to
participate in strong and inclusive communities. We support them to
learn English, to get a high-quality education and to gain
internationally recognised qualifications. Our work in arts and culture
stimulates creative expression and exchange and nurtures creative
enterprise. 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 others 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.
