The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for educational and cultural relations. British Council Scotland is based in the Tun, near the Scottish Parliament. We work with organisations in Scotland, the UK and internationally to connect Scotland and the world through the arts, education, science and governance. We do this by:

			Offering international opportunities to educators and young people in schools, colleges and youth groups.
			Working with our education partners to promote Scottish education overseas and providing support to British Council-managed scholars
			Making the world smaller and bringing people together through online educational collaboration
			Linking Scottish businesses with international postgraduates through our Scottish Networks International (SNI) programme
			Encouraging a just and inclusive society by promoting good governance and human rights
			Providing Scottish-based artists and organisations an international context to work in and promoting the vibrancy and quality of the Scottish arts scene internationally
			Strengthening international scientific links for Scotland and stimulating debate about the impact of science on people’s lives and the environment.

The British Council’s offices in 110 countries and territories around the world provide Scotland with an international gateway and strengthen Scotland’s reputation around the globe.
