Following successful conferences in Washington DC, Paris and New York, the fourth Future of Tibet conference will take place in Dharamshala, India, from November 5th-10th, 2023.
The Future of Tibet is a civil society initiative with no agenda other than to bring Tibetans together and to unite in the spirit of taking responsibility for, and an interest in, Tibet’s future. We, the Organising Committee, are a small group of individuals from all corners of society with no formal or institutional affiliation. We believe in the strength of unity as well as in the force of diversity. We may not subscribe to the same political convictions but believe in the value of truthful dialog. Moreover, we share a common belief that with the political changes in the world and in China, the Tibetan Freedom Movement needs a reflection about its future course.
We believe that our ability to influence the future is dependent on our ability to start a collective process of reflection and planning. If you are aged 18 or over and care about all aspects of Tibetan society, politics, language and culture, you are invited to join us and to share your thoughts and ideas. Over the course of five days, participants will be able to engage in fruitful, inspiring discussions, learn from distinguished speakers and guests and participate in a scenario planning workshop – all aiming to bring our highest spirits together for the future of our homeland.
Some of the topics that will be discussed will be the geopolitics of Tibet, China and India; Tibetan unity; Tibetan identity; Connecting Tibetans between places and generations; Future paths for Tibet including self-determination and Facing up to the future after His Holiness.
The special theme of the conference is “SEEDS” and there will be opportunity to engage artistically on the theme too.
