In Conversation with Tenzyn Zöchbauer, the Executive Director of Tibet Initiative Deutschland
Since 1989, Tibet Initiative Deutschland (TID) has been a powerful voice for Tibetan self-determination and human rights in Europe. In this in-depth interview, the Executive Director reflects on how TID has evolved into one of Europe’s most influential Tibet advocacy organizations—shaping German foreign policy debates, exposing China’s transnational repression, and amplifying Tibetan voices in the digital age. From fighting cultural genocide through awareness campaigns on colonial boarding schools to building international coalitions, TID continues to champion Tibetan rights despite growing global challenges.
