As part of its strategy, the British Council has embarked on a new programme, New Narratives, that will support more diverse, alternative narratives between young people in Africa and the UK. The programme aims to contribute to changing reciprocal perceptions between both places to stimulate new understanding. This will unlock new connections and collaborations for mutual benefit. The programme will work across its business areas including the Cultural and Creative Industries, Education and Social Inclusion.
