Celebrating the power of reading to support wellbeing and bring people together.

This World Mental Health Day, the British Council Tunisia is proud to have taken part in Take 10 Goes Global, an initiative in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust, celebrating the power of reading to support wellbeing, inspire minds and open up new perspective.
We’re delighted to see the British Embassy in Tunisia supporting this initiative and helping highlight how taking just 10 minutes to read can offer a welcome pause in our busy lives.
From discovering new ideas to exploring different perspectives, reading creates opportunities to learn, reflect and connect with others.
Together, we celebrate the joy of reading and the positive role it can play in our everyday lives.

Taking 10 minutes for reading, wellbeing and connection!

Last week, the British Council Tunisia team joined readers around the world for Take 10 Goes Global, an initiative by the British Council and the National Literacy Trust to celebrate the joy of reading and set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most people reading online in 12 hours.

In the lead-up to World Mental Health Day, our colleagues came together at the British Council office in Tunis to pause, pick up a book, and enjoy 10 minutes of reading together.

Reading can offer a welcome break from our busy routines, help us unwind, spark our imagination and support our wellbeing. Taking time for ourselves, even for just 10 minutes, can be a simple yet meaningful way to slow down and reconnect.

By taking part in this global initiative, we celebrated not only the power of stories to bring people together across ages, backgrounds and borders, but also the importance of making time for ourselves and our mental wellbeing.

Because sometimes, taking 10 minutes with a good book is a great place to start.

Throwback to a summer of music, connection and new beginnings.

From Tunisia to the UK, from ancient landscapes to contemporary sounds this summer, artists came together to create something new.

At Dougga, music became a meeting point: between cultures, generations, ideas, and artistic traditions.

A few moments from a summer filled with collaboration, discovery, and unforgettable encounters.

Press play and take a little trip back with us.
