The Swedish-Tibetan Society for School and Culture is a politically and religiously independent association formed in 1988. Its sister organization, the U.S. Tibetan Society for School and Culture was also formed that same year.
The original purpose of the association, at that time, was to build an operating boarding school in a Tibetan village, Katsel and to create cultural ties between Sweden and Tibet. Today, many years and projects later, the association has 13,000 children attending the 108 schools. These children need help to have the chance to go and continue their schooling, and therefore the sponsorship program is one of the organization’s most important activities.
The association's cultural exchange between Sweden and Tibet has continued over the years. The Association organizes trips to Tibet, India and Nepal, which allows us to see our activities firsthand. In Sweden, the Society organizes cultural evenings, which include dance and music performances, as well as lectures and visiting Tibetan doctors.
