Society - British Council

society

Our goal is to develop stronger global citizenship among people in the UK and worldwide. Global citizenship not only builds understanding of how countries, cultures and people differ but also builds a strong awareness of the values that we share. By fostering trust and understanding between people, communities, faiths, nations and cultures we help to address major issues such as sustainable economic growth, social cohesion, unemployment and mitigating the effects of climate change. We are involved in far reaching programmes around 'Culture and Development' and 'Culture and Conflict'.

Conflict and cultural relations

We are currently partnering Chatham House in a two-year study to examine the cultural aspects of international security. This major international study will explore the theme of values, norms and behaviours and intercultural dialogue.

culture and development

The British Council recently brought together European organisations active in the field of culture and development to create a strategy to work together in a more targeted and coordinated way. The group, now known as the Culture and Development Network, has agreed to set work together on four specific activities. To find out more, have a look on this webpage.
