British Council Romania held their annual Education UK exhibition on the 20th November 2015. It attracted almost 550 people at the Sheraton Hotel in Bucharest.

The event brought representatives from 25 universities along with a number of 4 exhibitors from the school sector to meet with Romanian students and parents, providing them with information on education opportunities, subject and pathway choices, as well as helping them to make applications for 2016 intakes.

We asked different questions related to British Council staff support to exhibitors and visitors, quality of the exhibition area, and other services provided to participants and the responses were overall satisfactory. We are glad to inform you that the British Council’s exhibition is almost the best well-organized education exhibition in Bucharest according to the opinion of our volunteers who attended similar fairs in the past. However, we continue to develop quality of our events to make them more useful for most of our visitors.

British Council Romania undertook a review of the fair to identify what went well, what did not go well, and the key ‘lessons learnt’ were summed up to improve our future activities. Including feedback from exhibitors and visitors, together with inputs from British Council colleagues, this post-event report presents the results of that review.

We hope all the UK institutions feel as positive about our Romania exhibitions as we do and that our annual event in Bucharest continues well into the future. We are looking forward to seeing you again at our next exhibition on 12 November 2016!
