We support peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and countries worldwide.
2024 marks 90 years of the British Council. Over these years we have created opportunities for millions of people and developed deep and long-lasting relationships. We continue to adapt to meet the needs of a changing world, while remaining committed to the principles on which we were founded.
We work directly with individuals to help them gain the skills, confidence and connections to transform their lives and shape a better world in partnership with the UK. We support them to build networks and explore creative ideas, to learn English, to get a high-quality education and to gain internationally recognised qualifications.
We have been working in Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago since 1989 and in Cuba since 1998. Every year we connect with thousands of English language teachers, students, academics, artists and creators from all over the Caribbean.
