Call for expression of interest - UK Week in the Americas

Join UK Week in the Americas region

Description: We are proposing to run a concentrated set of virtual activities primarily targeting influencers in the undergraduate decision-making process in Brazil, Mexico, and the US since all recruitment activities will need to be virtual this fall due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the virtual activities is to support UK universities in building relationships with counsellors, independent education consultants (IECs), student advisors and agents which play an important role in raising the profile of UK universities in-country and in influencing students’ university search and application process. UK Week in the Americas will include a week-long virtual conference of bite-sized sessions and ten days of one-to-one meetings which influencers can book with UK universities.

What will you gain by joining UK Week in the Americas?
• Highlight your institution by hosting a bite-sized session on a specific topic in UK university admissions
• Build relationships with influencers in the region through one-to-one meetings
• Gain exposure through promotion on the British Council’s website, social media channels and e-shots to influencers
• Receive the contact details of leads who opt into communications
• Enjoy long-term promotion beyond the duration of the event: webinars will be recorded and sent to registered participants as well as the counselor and agent e-mail lists in each country

Further details and proposed dates and fee are included in the attached document.
