The British Council welcome you to this discussion exploring the role that engaging with open societies plays in international cooperation and diplomacy. What elements make an ‘open society’ and how can they work together to address global challenges and opportunities? What role do educational and cultural programmes play in promoting rules-based international systems and shared values? And how does this participation encourage cooperation between likeminded countries?
