British Council is celebrating its 75th year in Turkey.
British Council’s journey in Turkey started in 1940 in the leadership of our founder Michael Grant with the intent to develop cultural relations between Turkey and Britain. It still continues today thanks to our strong relationship with our partners as well as your valuable support.
