Opening Doors - Broadening Horizons

The British Council is the UK's agency responsible for cultural relations. In China we operate as the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy and aim to connect young Chinese people with learning opportunities and the latest creative ideas from the UK.  

We build trust and engagement for the UK through the exchange of knowledge and ideas between people worldwide.
