About the organization

The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. They were founded in 1934 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1940. They create friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries. They achieve this by making a positive contribution to the UK and the countries they work with – changing lives by creating opportunities, building connections, and fostering trust. They work with more than 100 countries across the world in the fields of arts and culture, the English language, education, and civil society. Last year, they reached more than 80 million people directly and 791 million people overall, including online, through broadcasts and publications.
