From December 2 to 3, 2023, the British Council and Beijing Shenshenbuxi Cultural Exchange Center jointly held the 5th China-UK Accessible Art Forum at the Guangzhou Cloud Curtain Theater. We promote world peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and around the world. With the UKs deep heritage in culture, art, education and English language, and relying on the associations network and influence in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, we have unparalleled access to young people and opinion leaders, and spark creativity in collaboration. We help individuals acquire skills, build confidence and make connections, bring changes to their lives, and work with the UK to shape a better world. We support them to build interpersonal networks, explore creativity, learn English, receive high-quality education, and obtain internationally recognized qualifications. The British Council has maintained a cooperative relationship with China since 1979. We operate as the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy in Beijing and the Cultural and Education Section of the British Consulate-General in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chongqing. Our exam services in China are operated as a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise.
