Research series

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the arts sector both in the UK and around the world. This series charts how artists and institutions globally have responded to the crisis.

The Cultural Relations Collection explores themes relating to the work of the British Council around the globe to reflect on the theory and practice of cultural relations more broadly.

Next Generation: a global British Council research series focusing on young people. We believe it is important to listen to and engage with young people, as they will become the next generation of influencers, leaders and shapers of their countries. Yet, we recognise that they are not just the future – they are the present, and they have the capacity to create, contribute and make a difference today.
