Explanation

A programme is a planned set of activities, events, or tasks arranged to achieve a goal. It can mean a schedule for a show or event, a set of lessons for learning something, or a plan made by a school, company, or government. This form is used mainly as a noun for events, broadcasts, and public activities. The meaning depends on the situation, but the idea is always the same: an organised set of steps or activities prepared in advance.

👉 In British English, “programme” is often used for events and shows, while “program” is used for computer instructions and as a verb, especially in American English.
