Promoting social inclusion | British Council

We promote social inclusion and wider participation by strengthening civil society throughout the Americas. This includes:

ensuring citizens interact with states in ways which encourage collaboration and create societies that work better for people
encouraging more effective, transparent and consultative citizen-state interactions in order to reduce tensions in the post-conflict context of Colombia, thus contributing to the Peace Process
developing partnerships and collaborative programmes to address problems faced by women and girls, making progress towards gender equality
strengthening social cohesion and proactively endorsing our values of equality, diversity and inclusion through our arts offer in the region, with a particular emphasis on gender inequality, disability arts and LGBT rights.
