British Council home
Welcome to the Press & Parliamentary Affairs website

We work to provide journalists and parliamentarians with information and advice on the activities of the British Council across the globe.

We are a unique public diplomacy tool, connecting millions of people around the globe through education and creativity. Our independent approach to building trust among peoples and countries is especially relevant today when the world is torn apart by conflict and suspicion. We’re probably the only organisation in the world that covers the full spectrum of human activity in education, arts, science, governance and human rights.
