The English Language Week is an initiative led by the British Council and the British embassy in Tunis, in partnership with UTICA (l’Union Tunisienne de l’Industrie du Commerce et de l’Artisanat) and TBCC (Tunisian British Chamber of Commerce).

Six free and exciting events will take place in Tunis, Jendouba, Gafsa, Gabes and Sfax during the week 26 to 31 May. During these events a mix of talks, digital workshops, games and debates will take place.
