Cultural Exchange Program

Lha hosts one of the largest International Cultural Exchange Programs in the Tibetan refugee community and students from different universities, high schools and organizations all over the world participate.

The Exchange Program began in 2002, aiming to provide a platform for foreigners to learn, explore and widen their knowledge of Tibetan culture, tradition, and way of life. Lha hosts more than 10 different groups every year from various countries.

Through this program, we introduce participants to different Tibetan NGOs and institutions to allow them to learn about the Tibetan cause, struggle, and livelihood in exile. Lha also arranges lectures from well-known professionals on a variety of topics, including the political situation in Tibet, social status of Tibetans in Tibet and of Tibetans in exile, Tibetan medicine, and Tibetan Buddhism and culture, depending on the interest of the group.

Since the participation and the interaction between the international participants and the local community prove of mutual benefit, we consider our cultural exchange program as one of our most important activities.
