Our international work | British Council France

We engage with international organisations based in France to support our wider international work

France is home to many multilateral international organisations. Our English and School Education team in France support our wider collaboration with these bodies, showcasing our work around the world in the fields of teacher development, foundational learning, EdTech, displacement and girls’ education.

All our work reflects our commitment to supporting education stakeholders in making pragmatic and evidence-based decisions about language in education policy, as set out in our global position paper.
