    The British Council is the UKs international organisation for educational and cultural

    relations. In an increasingly disconnected world, we believe in creating connections

    through cultural relations.

    We do this by bringing people together from different communities and cultures

    to share knowledge and ideas to make a positive difference in our societies. All our

    programmes aim to build engagement, understanding and trust between people. And

    that is our contribution towards making our world a safer place to live in. We have been

    active in Kazakhstan since 1994, and work with educators, learners, professionals

    and artists in the elds of English, Education, Exams and the Arts.

    Perennials are chosen to

    Plant species come and

    thus ensuring continuous

    blooming.
