In the Society programme area we work towards the following outcome:

Societies whose citizens and institutions contribute to a more inclusive, open and prosperous world

The British Council supports the development of people and societies, working in partnership with national, multinational, private sector, professional and community institutions as well as offering educational services directly to millions of people. In so doing, we span the gap between individuals and states; the established and the emergent; the institution and innovation. We believe that cultural relations build more stable global societies.

Through our work we:

• Develop the skills of potential and existing community leaders, enabling them to respond to global and local agendas and make a difference
• Create a globally active and influential British Council alumni network whose members act as advocates for cultural relations activity
• Expand our partnership working for development, delivery and funding, including across the private, public and third sectors, in theUK, the EU and globally
