English for the military, police and border guards
From 2006 until 2010 the British Council in the UK centrally managed a Peacekeeping English Project (PEP) programme on behalf of the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Ministry of Defence, and the Department for International Development. The aim of PEP was to reduce, resolve and prevent conflict worldwide through improved English language communication. All project work is now being managed within the country or region concerned.
PEP also provided free online language development for military personnel, border guards and police through the British Council's LearnEnglish Peacekeepers website.
What we do
English is the language of interoperability. It enables multinational forces taking part in NATO, EU and UN peace support operations to communicative effectively with each other.
