Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

Language Banned

November 5, 2021;

Tibetan children living in Amdo [Ch: Qinghai] are being banned from attending informal classes or workshops held during the holidays, traditionally the way in which Tibetan children can learn and connect to their language and culture. Teachers have been told that anyone violating this government order will face “serious legal consequences and punishment.” This follows the closure of private schools and classes in monasteries which taught in Tibetan.
