How can I register for a seminar?

And write to rsvp.events@britishcouncil.org. Please always include the title of the seminar you wish to attend.

Development trends and up-to-date information about the ELT profession, introduction to new materials and projects, exchanging ideas and networking opportunities.

Are there any special conditions required for attending a seminar?
Not really, simply an interest in the topics and in meeting the ELT community．

Are the seminars academic?
Yes and no．
Yes — there is rigorous and relevant information from the areas of knowledge and specialised expertise.
No — the seminars are not purely 'theoretical' but draw on the experience of many of the leading experts in the field with practical ideas.

Will I be filmed/photographed at the event?
Yes, possibly, because we need to film the event and take some photos of the presenter and the audience as well for our website and other publications. When you attend a British Council event please be aware that you may be filmed or photographed. 

Can I film the event?
Unfortunately not. But we will make available highlights from the event on our website.

The seminars are held either in London or Manchester at the moment, but we are looking for additional locations.
