We also connect people from the UK and Africa, using student exchange programmes, study visits and cultural events.

We work in 23 countries throughout Africa. Each of our centres offers a different range of services and events, to promote English language learning, UK education and cultural creativity and innovation.
What we mean by cultural relations. Our work is driven by our strong belief in internationalism, a commitment to professionalism, and an enthusiasm for creativity. We believe that cultural relations can help individuals and the world community to thrive. Therefore, we have a special focus on youth.
