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.

UN Chinese Language Day

April 20, 2020;

Since 2011 the United Nations (UN) has celebrated April 20 as Chinese Language Day in an effort “to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organisation”. Multilingualism is also of concern to the UN within China with several UN bodies expressing “concern over the rights of Tibetans to education in their own language and culture” in the country.
