The 1st SYSU Tibetan Cultural Festival was held on South Campus on June 6, 2014. It was cosponsored by SYSU Youth Association, Publicity Department, and School of Sociology and Anthropology (SSA), and organized by Student Union of SSA and visiting teacher and exchange students from Tibet University for Nationalities. The event featured an exhibition and an evening show on Tibetan history and culture.

Trying on Tibetan clothes
The exhibition was located in front of the First Student Canteen and in Qinxin Square, consisting of “A Bite of Tibet”, "Tibetan Culture", "Trying on Tibetan Clothes” and “Names in Tibetan Language”. Twenty display boards were set up to show Tibetan food, architecture, medicine and religion, as well as stories about SYSU Graduate Student Teaching Team in Tibet and Tibetan Language Class.
Dance performance of “Auspicious Hada”
Game and interaction session
At 7:00 pm, the evening show was staged in Ted Sioeng Student Activity Center. The exchange students from Tibet University for Nationalities gathered together with Tibetan students from South Campus and East Campus of Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology, and presented a wonderful performance. The evening show also designed a game and interaction session for the audience to learn how to make Tsampa, imitate text in Tibetan language, and perform Guozhuang dance. A girl who is about to graduate from Department of Chinese said: Let’s protect and carry forward the fine aspects of traditional Tibetan culture!
As early as April 2012, Sun Yat-sen University and Tibet University for Nationalities signed a joint program agreement. In the autumn of 2013, the School of Sociology and Anthropology at SYSU received the first group of exchange students. This festival was initiated by 20 exchange students and directed by a visiting teacher from Tibet University for Nationalities.
