The British Council is the UK’s international culture and education organisation. We support peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and countries worldwide.
By connecting the UK’s expertise in arts and culture, education and the English language to our global presence and unparalleled networks, we unlock potential and transform lives. We help artists to share their distinctive voices. We provide educators with the tools to shape generations. We give young people the confidence to shine.
We work with governments and our partners in the education, English language and cultural sectors to make a bigger difference, creating benefit for millions of people all over the world. At the heart of these relationships is trust which is built over time and nurtured through shared experiences.
For almost a century, it’s been our mission to build a world where people connect across borders, and where trust is the foundation for lasting change. A world where opportunities are limitless.
We have been working in Korea since 1973. Every year we connect with thousands of students, educators, policymakers, academics, creatives and entrepreneurs in Korea. In 2023, the British Council in Korea marked its 50 anniversary, celebrating our commitment to building connections between the UK and Korea.
