The British Council has over 75 years of experience of building trust and understanding worldwide, promoting the sharing of knowledge and ideas for the benefit of all. We work in partnership with city leaders across Europe to bring people together to examine challenging issues such as securing the future prosperity of our cities.

The Open Days event will mark the launch of our Breakthrough Cities report and the first OPENCities Leadership and Governance thematic paper. The presentations by representatives of the OPENCities and Creative Cities projects will be followed by an open discussion on social innovation in Europe.
