Schools Education Conference - Video Competition

We are delighted to extend an invitation to schools to partake in a unique opportunity – an opportunity to showcase the profound impact of British Council training programs. This initiative aims to spotlight the transformative influence these programs have had on schools, teachers, and, most importantly, students.

We encourage schools to participate by creating a brief video that articulates how British Council training programs have positively influenced various aspects of your educational institution. Share your experiences, insights, and the positive changes you have observed since engaging with any of the British Council training initiatives.
