British Council

We promote peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding, and trust between people in the United Kingdom and countries around the world.
We uniquely combine the UK’s deep expertise in arts, culture, education, and the English language with our global presence across more than 100 countries, providing access to young people, leaders, and influencers while bringing a distinctive creative spark to everything we do.
In partnership with the UK, we work directly with individuals to help them gain the skills, confidence, and connections they need to transform their lives and help build a better world. We support people to build networks, explore creative ideas, learn English, access high-quality education, and gain internationally recognized qualifications.
We have been active in Turkey since 1940, engaging with thousands of students, educators, policymakers, academics, creatives, and entrepreneurs each year.
Our work focuses on creating opportunities for young people through:

– Supporting access to the education, qualifications, and skills they need to achieve their potential in future careers.

– Building and developing new networks and platforms that give young people a voice in society.
