What is Global Perceptions?
Global Perceptions 2023 is British Council’s sixth survey of educated 18-34 year olds living in the G20 countries. Running since 2016, the survey provides a detailed picture on what values matter to young people, and their intentions to engage with education, arts and culture, and tourism. In June and July 2023, British Council commissioned Ipsos UK to survey 19,601 educated 18-34 year olds in 18 of the G20 member states and 5 additional countries, including Ireland. The Ireland sample included 500 participants, weighted to the national population by age and gender.
What is Global Perceptions: UK Ireland?
British Council Ireland partnered with Cooperation Ireland to host a focus group of young Irish people aged 18-34 years and invited them to share their personal and professional reflections on the findings of the Global Perceptions 2023 survey. Journalist, broadcaster and author, Dearbhail McDonald, was our rapporteur for the session and captured the thoughts shared by participants.
Following the focus group, we invited key stakeholders in government, UK Ireland relations, bilateral, media and cultural organisations to a closed-room research briefing. The stakeholders heard from British Council Director of Research & Insight, Christine Wilson and Senior Soft Power Analyst, Anuja Desai, who presented the highlights and key findings from Global Perceptions 2023. Rapporteur, Dearbhail McDonald, shared the findings from the Global Perceptions: UK Ireland focus group which took place earlier that morning.
