SOCIETY
Strengthening human rights and governance

The British Council’s Society programme aims to enhance the UK’s reputation as a modern diverse society, committed to strengthening democracy and human rights through dialogue and partnership with other countries.

We work in partnership with government and civil society to advance debate, knowledge and skills in the areas of governance, public sector, human rights and social inclusion

In Israel, we work together with central, local government and non government organisations, in order to ensure that we demonstrate UK experience that is relevant and useful to local needs and interests.
