Tibetan Confluences
Presentation of the association
The Confluences Tibétaines association བོད་ཀྱི་འདུས་ཆུ། was created on April 15, 2010. It is managed, coordinated and run by students from the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO).
At INALCO, it organizes an annual cultural day presenting various aspects of the culture of the Tibetan-speaking area, an event that is free and open to all.
It organizes Tibetan calligraphy workshops, screenings of rare and unpublished films and other activities (Tibetan yoga, meditation, etc.).
The vast majority of what we offer is free of charge.
In partnership with the Khata Karpo association, CT is helping to set up several language courses (FLE for Tibetans) at INALCO, an administrative office for Tibetan speakers and a Tibetan singing course open to all.
It regularly informs members and subscribers by e-mail of events connected with Tibetan culture in Paris and the surrounding area. It occasionally offers its members the chance to win cinema, theater and concert tickets related to the Tibetan-Himalayan world, as well as exclusive outings.
It also aims to be a reliable point of contact for people seeking specific information about the Tibetan field, particularly associations active in the social field.
It also collaborates on Inalco's cultural and educational events, such as the Inalculturelle and the "Languages and cultures of the world" cordée organized by INALCO as part of the Cordées de la réussite program.

An additional aim of our course is to create together an artistic and practical support that we will present on our stands.
