Durham County Council and its partners; Durham University, Culture Durham, Durham Youth Council, Durham Sport and Business Durham have come together to develop a formal working relationship to mirror the British Council’s Internationalism Alliance pledge.

We want to offer every child and young person in the United Kingdom, whatever their background or interests, the opportunity to learn from – and connect with – other people in the UK and around the world.

The Alliance will be formally launched on 16 October at a special reception to welcome international students from Durham University to County Durham.

The Alliance’s programme of international events will be published here.
