1. What is the British Council?
Connecting the UK to the world and the world to the UK, British Council is Britain's international cultural relations body.
In an inter-dependent, turbulent world we believe that creating opportunities for people to understand each other better, work together more and learn from one another is crucial to building secure, more prosperous and sustainable futures for us all.
Our activities - whether in the arts, science, sport, English teaching, climate change or education - nurture greater trust and understanding between different countries and cultures. They also build strong international links to and from Britain, opening doors for the UK onto the rest of the world and for the world back to the UK.
Our work gives people - both in Britain and across the hundred-plus countries we work in - opportunities to learn, share and connect worldwide.
2.What does the British Council in Azerbaijan do?
British Council offers a wide variety of services to the people of Azerbaijan to assist in the development of education, the English language, the arts and social development. We work in partnership with government, academic and non-governmental organisations in Azerbaijan, and with UK and European counterparts, to provide opportunity to people throughout Azerbaijan. Our focus is on support to the development agenda and the successor generation of young educated people.
