Connecting Futures - Society - British Council

Connecting Futures is our initiative which aims to build mutual understanding, learning and respect between young people with different cultural backgrounds in the UK and other countries.

Connecting Futures activity is inclusive and reflects the cultural, religious and ethnic make-up of the countries participating as well as the rich multi-ethnic diversity of the UK. Our work emphasises an approach of genuine mutual listening and learning by communities in the UK and overseas.

People to people public diplomacy has never been more important and as necessary as today.
