The Tibetan Community in the Nederland is a non profit organisation focused on supporting the survival of Tibetan culture and identity, and to enhance the quality of life for all Tibetan living in the local community and worldwide.
Over the last 15 years, the Tibetan community has undergone exponential growth in the Nederland. From only a handful in the 1990’s, the community is now estimated to be 400, with many more new arrivals expected in the coming years due to the deteriorating political conditions in Tibet. The increased numbers of Tibetans fleeing Tibet for Nepal and India, and other factors.
In today’s increasingly diverse and multicultural Dutch society, the goal of the Tibetan community in the Nederland is to promote cross-cultural understanding and friendship between the Tibetan community and other cultural groups in the Nederland. This will be achieved through education and awareness projects, networking to build friendships, and through shared community ethic/heritage events and festivals.
We offer our support of Tibetan based educational, culture and religious programs, while also reaching out to community members in need. While we are committed to building strong relationship within the Tibetan community through organizing events that will allow members to connect and reach out to one another.
