The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. They create friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries. They do this by making a positive contribution to the UK and the countries they work with – changing lives by creating opportunities, building connections and engendering trust.

They have been working in Pakistan since 1947 in the fields of arts and culture, English language, education and civil society. This year marks 70 years of the British Council working in Pakistan, which it is celebrating through diverse activities and programming, ranging from cultural festivals and alumni events to forming new partnership and increasing our digital footprint.
