Ethnicity, Communities and Social Inclusion

Ethnicity is a key element of an individuals identity. Within a society, sometimes as a result of a process of migration, ethnicity has implications for social inclusion and access to rights at both the national and international level

Our work in this area focuses on key UK developments and networks at both policy and civil society levels we will be building the British Council Information Resource to support activities of the global governance network and enable us to positively demonstrate that the UK is an ethnically diverse society.
