English Speaking Union
The English-Speaking Union (ESU) is an international educational charity and membership organisation that brings together people of different languages and cultures in over 50 countries. Through the help of our branches and international ESUs, we run educational programmes, competitions and cultural exchanges to develop confident communicators, critical thinkers and empowered citizens. Founded in 1918 by the writer and journalist Sir Evelyn Wrench, international friendship and understanding is at the heart of all we do at the ESU.
