Our Work

SFT's programs focus on two main areas: hard-hitting campaigns to make China’s occupation of Tibet too costly to maintain, and training to help students become successful leaders and activists for Tibet and their own communities. Our campaigns mobilize tens of thousands of people around the world, leveraging pressure on the Chinese government to leave Tibet. Our leadership training has given thousands of young people the skills and inspiration to be leaders in the struggle for Tibet and for social justice worldwide.

Campaigns

 
 

Stop Mining Tibet

Canadian mining companies are leading the effort to exploit Tibet's natural resources and we need your help to stop these companies in their tracks. Click here for more info

 

 

 

Leadership Training

Through a combination of intensive training and mentorship, SFT has equipped hundreds of young people with the tools— both practical and theoretical— to play critical leadership roles not only in the Tibet movement, but in movements for social and environmental justice worldwide.
 

Free Tibet! Action Camp

Free Tibet! Action Camp is a week-long intensive training in the skills and strategies of nonviolent action and grassroots organizing for the current and future leaders of the movement for Tibetan independence. Action Camp immerses participants in a comprehensive curriculum that includes the history and philosophy of applied nonviolence, grassroots organizing, campaign strategy, media advocacy, nonviolent direct action tactics, political theater, fundraising, and more.
 

SFT Conferences

National and regional conferences are sometimes easier to attend than a week-long camp. Although not as in-depth as action camp, conferences are a great way to get training in campaign strategy, grassroots organizing, ‘Teaching Tibet,’ fundraising, media and more – skills that will make a big difference to the impact you can have for Tibet in your own community. Conferences are also valuable as a way to meet fellow SFTers – share problems and successes you’ve had and make contacts that will help you do better work for Tibet.
