We support peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and countries worldwide.

We uniquely combine the UK’s deep expertise in arts and culture, education and the English language, our global presence and relationships in over 100 countries, our unparalleled access to young people and influencers and our creative sparkle.

As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the British Council we are also celebrating 80 years of our work in Ghana. We have been working in Ghana since 1944.

We work directly with individuals to help them gain the skills, confidence and connections to transform their lives and shape a better world in partnership with the UK. We support them to build networks and explore creative ideas, to learn English, to get a high-quality education and to gain internationally recognised qualifications.

British Council in Ghana

Every year we connect with thousands of students, educators, policymakers, academics, creatives and entrepreneurs in Ghana. 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.
