About our work in Cultural Heritage
The British Council’s work in Cultural Heritage centers on collaboration with communities to protect, value, discover and share Cultural Heritage with all. Working with and through partners, our programmes contribute to the understanding of Cultural Heritage and Cultural Protection and supports innovative projects that increase access to skills, networks and knowledge of the communities we work with in ways that develop tangible opportunities that create economic and social growth.
