Last year we reached over 80 million people directly and 791 million people overall including online, broadcasts and publications. Founded in 1934 The British Council is a UK charity governed by Royal Charter and a UK public body. We receive a 15 per cent core funding grant from the UK government.

In Viet Nam, The British Council’s Arts and Creative Industries team work to strengthen collaboration between the arts and creative sectors in the UK and Viet Nam. Our activities cover a wide range of areas including policy advocacy, research, capacity building in arts and creative skills, showcasing the best of UK and Vietnamese art, and promoting artistic and creative collaboration. We aim to develop long term UK – Viet Nam partnerships through sustainable projects; and to harness the value of the arts and creative sector that contributes to the development of a more open, prosperous, creative, and inclusive society.
