About British Council Iraq
We have been working in Iraq since 1940. Every year we connect with thousands of Iraqi students, teachers, artists, entrepreneurs, academics and policymakers. The focus of our work is on providing opportunities for young people to become more civically engaged and economically productive by:
- supporting young people to achieve the education, qualifications and skills needed to reach their potential and advance in their careers.
- building networks and platforms that give young people a voice in their society and an opportunity to contribute to the development and the wellbeing of their communities.
