The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. We create friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries. We do this by making a positive contribution to the UK and the countries we work with – changing lives by creating opportunities, building connections and engendering trust. We work with over 100 countries across the world in the fields of arts and culture, English language, education and civil society. Last year we reached over 65 million people directly and 731 million people overall including online, broadcasts and publications. Founded in 1934, we are a UK charity governed by Royal Charter and a UK public body. The British Council in Vietnam is a priority country for the British Council within East Asia. The British Council in Vietnam has offices and teaching centres in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. For more information see www.britishcouncil.org or www.britishcouncil.vn
