Nous travaillons de deux manières : directement avec les individus pour transformer leur vie, et avec les gouvernements et les partenaires pour faire une plus grande différence à long terme, en créant des avantages pour des millions de personnes dans le monde entier. Nous aidons les jeunes à acquérir les compétences, la confiance et les relations qu’ils recherchent pour réaliser leur potentiel et participer à des communautés fortes et inclusives. Nous les aidons à apprendre l’anglais, à recevoir une éducation de qualité et à acquérir des qualifications reconnues au niveau international. Notre travail dans le domaine des arts et de la culture stimule l’expression et l’échange créatifs et favorise les entreprises créatives. Nous mettons en relation le meilleur du Royaume-Uni avec le monde et le meilleur du monde avec le Royaume-Uni. Ces liens permettent de comprendre les forces de chacun, les défis et les valeurs que nous partageons. Cela permet d’instaurer une confiance entre les citoyens du Royaume-Uni et des autres nations, qui perdure même lorsque les relations officielles sont tendues. Nous travaillons sur le terrain dans plus de 100 pays. En 2019-20, nous nous sommes connectés avec 80 millions de personnes directement et avec 791 millions au total, y compris en ligne et par le biais de nos émissions et publications.
