Binita’s Journey to Leadership

When Binita joined our GEMS Club in Grade 8, she was quiet and unsure of herself. Two years later, she’s known in her community as ‘our daughter, the teacher’, a confident Peer Group Leader guiding others with kindness and courage.

Through GEMS, Binita discovered a new way of learning — one built on friendship, trust, and teamwork. She now speaks up for girls’ education and against early marriage: ‘A girl in our area got married at 15. But I don’t want that. I want to study.’ Inspired by a local field coordinator, she hopes to work in an NGO and help others find their voice too.

Even after the programme ended, Binita remains committed to sharing what she’s learned, proof that true learning continues long after the classroom.

Preeti’s Rise through GEMS

When Preeti joined the British Council’s GEMS Club in Grade 8, she didn’t even know how to switch on a laptop. Two years later, she confidently uses Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Word, and speaks fluent English with clarity and purpose.

Through GEMS, Preeti found her voice, inspiring her family and community. Now aspiring to become a lawyer, she says, ‘If I learn law, it will help the whole community.’

From a quiet student to a confident advocate, Preeti is proof that when girls are given opportunity and encouragement, they rise.

🎙️ The second episode of award winning season 3 is here!

In this episode - Bridging worlds: dialogue, diplomacy and the soft power of culture - host Christine Wilson explores how culture and creativity are not just reflections of society, they’re powerful tools for connection, diplomacy, and intercultural dialogue.

Christine is joined by Ambassador Antonio Patriota, Brazil’s Ambassador to the UK, and one of the country’s most experienced diplomats, for a wide-ranging conversation about the power of cultural exchange in shaping international relations. We discuss Brazil’s renewed environmental leadership, the UK's creative ties with Brazil, and the significance of the UK/Brazil Season of Culture 2025–26, a year-long celebration of artistic collaboration and cultural diplomacy.

We also hear from British-Iranian artist Javaad Alipoor, and his work for the UK/Australia British Council season (2021-22). He reflects on the politics of art, the power of international collaboration, and the nuanced role of soft power in global cultural work.

Together, they discuss:
✨ how can art and cultural exchange drive global cooperation, inspire climate action, and embrace youth aspirations?
✨ what is the significance of the UK/Brazil Season of Culture 2025–26?

From the UK, to Australia, and onto Brazil, this episode highlights how cultural connections can foster understanding, amplify youth voices, and inspire action across borders.

Priyanshu’s Journey with GEMS

From a shy eighth-grader to a confident leader, Priyanshu’s story reflects the power of education and opportunity. Through the British Council’s GEMS programme in Chapur, she learned digital skills and now teaches these skills to younger students every Saturday.

GEMS also gave her the confidence to speak up for girls’ rights and dream big: 'I don’t want to get married soon. My dream is to study and become a Kharidar.'

A true example of how learning and mentorship can change lives.
