Program Details
Classes take place five evenings a week (3 hours per night). Outside of class time, we’ll collaborate to produce educational language videos on your schedule. This will leave you with plenty of free time to explore and immerse yourself in Tibetan culture. 🌏
If you’re creative, curious, and passionate about cultural 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, the students are also eager to learn not just the English language, but also about Western culture, customs, and ways of thinking.
I can’t express how much your help means. Your time and energy will have a lasting impact on our community. 💛"
