Notice Information

Notice Title

Future of English exhibition

Notice Description

Project to enable significant output for the Future of English Programme. We seek to identify the key opportunities and areas of interest to reinforce the British Councils authority on the role and status of the English language internationally through cultural relations, building relationships with policy makers and influencers, and driving improvements in English language teaching, learning & assessment. It is then strategically important that we gain the exposure and full return on investment from the research project that we showcase it in an engaging and impactful format through a series of events and exhibitions at British Council offices and FCDO/embassy premises around the world. The concept will also inform the strategic direction for the broader and ongoing marketing for the programme (through a planned 3 year period). The Future of English exhibition project consists of two steps: 1. An impactful and immersive creative concept and plan for implementation 2. Development and implementation
