Tibet meets the world !
Tibet World is an organization devoted to recognizing and encouraging human potential. Our mission is to preserve and cultivate the Tibetan culture. We strive to provide the best education and training in a variety of fields including language, environment and career development. Providing space for community events and performances will allow for intercultural exchange with volunteers and tourists worldwide. We believe that it is important for Tibetan refugees to acquire the skills necessary to develop a sustainable livelihood while creating opportunity for displaced people.
