BRITISH CORNER

ENGLISH-GEORGIAN CULTURAL CENTRE

 

British Corner was set up in 2015.

It is supported by the British Embassy in Tbilisi and the English Speaking Union of Georgia

 

 

The main goal of the ESU is to further promote friendship and understanding through the English language. The patrons of the ESU are Queen Elizabeth II and the President- the Princess Anne. ESU functions in more than 60 countries. British Corner was founded by Marina Tsitsishvili who has been the President of the English Speaking Union of Georgia since 1998 as well as serving as the President of the International Council of the ESU from 2013 to 2015. Additionally, Marina was the first Georgian national to be awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II. She was presented with this honorific for developing cultural and educational links between the UK and Georgia.

“I am so proud and happy to be here at the opening of British Corner,” said British Ambassador HE Alexandra Hall Hall, “I’m sure that it’s going to be a magical place where people can meet their friends, have a cup of tea, read Shakespeare, listen to music, allow their imagination to expand and also to learn the English language and everything about Britain, which can be great and which can be shared with all of Georgia.”
