Program Details

We want to find volunteers with a good phone or digital camera, video editing skills, and social media experience. We will collaborate for 2-4 hours per day to create content promoting tourism and cultural exchange in Tibet, leaving plenty of free time to explore and immerse yourself in Tibetan culture. 🌏

If you’re creative, curious, and passionate about intercultural exchange, your contribution will make a real difference. Your input, ideas, and creativity are highly valued. While you learn about Tibetan ways of life through your experience, local Tibetans will also be eager to meet you and learn about your culture, customs, and ways of thinking.🌟
