The British Council builds connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education and the English language.

We help young people to gain the skills, confidence and connections they are looking for to realise their potential and to participate in strong and inclusive communities. We support them to learn English, to get a high-quality education and to gain internationally recognised qualifications. Our work in arts and culture stimulates creative expression and exchange and nurtures creative enterprise.

We have been working in Nepal since 1959. Every year we connect with thousands of students, educators, policymakers, academics, creatives and entrepreneurs in Nepal. The focus of our work is on providing opportunities for young people through:

• supporting young people to achieve the education, qualifications and skills needed to reach their potential in their future careers.
• creating and developing new networks and platforms to give young people a voice in society.
