The British Council creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and builds trust between them worldwide.
We call this cultural relations.
We work in partnership with individuals and public and private sector organisations to fund and deliver project-based activity. We are responsive to the needs of our partners.
Our delivery methods include structured visits, seminars, conferences, performances and exhibitions together with UK, Norwegian and/or international partner institutions.
We provide advice to individuals and organisations on opportunities for engagement with the UK with relevance to our themes.
We encourage individuals and organisations with an interest in partnering with ourselves and the UK to contact us with specific proposals which fit our themes.
In the UK the British Council is registered as a charity (not-for-profit-organisation) and operates as an executive non-departmental public body. We receive a grant from the British Government and are represented in 110 countries worldwide.
Our patron is Her Majesty The Queen and our Vice-Patron is His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales.
The British Council is the United Kingdom's international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations.
