In the light of Covid-19, we wanted to let you know what you can expect from British Council Society in the coming months.
We understand that this is a difficult time for the society sector and for professionals working in social enterprise, governance and civil society, empowerment of women and girls, sport and justice, security and conflict resolution across the globe. We have always believed that culture connects us and at this time of uncertainty this is more important than ever.
We’re committed to ensuring that people all over the world have access to culture and cultural connections. We hope that through new approaches to our work, we will continue to provide opportunities for society professionals and sectors around the world during a difficult and unpredictable time.
At the moment, we are working hard to deliver as many activities as we can while listening and responding to the relevant government and health authority guidance in the countries in which we operate.
Where it is not currently safe or practical to continue as planned, we are putting projects on hold, and we will reschedule them when it becomes possible to resume.
The health and wellbeing of our colleagues, partners and everyone engaged with our programmes and services are our priority during this rapidly evolving situation.
