In this era of globalisation, countries, organisations and people are faced with the challenges of shared security, prosperity and environmental sustainability.

Effective partnerships are essential in this 21st century world.

We understand that these challenges are not easily overcome. Working together in partnership, however, is our best chance of exploring and developing solutions that benefit everyone.

Working in partnership, we can draw on a wider range of ideas, knowledge and experience. In partnership we are better able to address our shared challenges and profit from the mutual rewards.

Business relationships are commonplace. There are diplomatic relationships that exist between governments. Beyond the fields of economics and politics, however, there are wider relationships for shared benefit that exist between people, between organisations and between countries: cultural relationships.

The British Council is a charity that has worked for 75 years in partnership with businesses, national associations and institutions, professional networks, local communities and government ministries in order to establish the trust and understanding required for the growth of cultural relationships. We work on behalf of the UK to encourage educational, cultural, scientific and economic co-operation.

Partnering with us will give your organisation access to global audiences and markets, intercultural expertise and a trusted global brand. A partnership with the British Council is a partnership with the global leader in cultural relations.
