/ social participation and against social discrimination and marginalization of Tibetans in Tibet

/ We work specifically for political prisoners in Tibet
/ We work together with Tibetans in exile. The Association of Tibetans in Germany (VTD) provides a board member of the Tibet Initiative.
/ We are in close contact with the Tibetan government in exile in India and its representatives in Europe
/ We are in contact with Chinese civil rights activists and dissidents and seek dialog with Chinese actors
