We create friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries. Through our arts, education and society programmes, we give opportunities to hundreds of millions of people worldwide each year.
Our work in arts
Arts is a cornerstone of the British Council’s mission to create a friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and the wider world. We find new ways of connecting with and understanding each other through the arts, to develop stronger creative sectors around the world that are better connected with the UK.
