Abstract EN:
As soon as the dalai lama, with thousands of tibetans, took asylum in india in 1959, he expressed his great concern for the uprooted children's education. An inventive system of schooling was set up, a system which would be able to ensure a fair blending of modernity and tradition. The basic objective was to provide both a modern curriculum and a deep understanding of tibetan language, religion and culture. In order to analyse the impact of this educational system on the tibetan refugees' children living in nepal, we will study how far their schooling is passing on tibetan culture and contributing to safeguarding their identity in this situation of cultural change.

Des que le dalai lama se fut refugie en inde en 1959 avec des milliers de tibetains, il montra un grand interet pour l'education des enfants ainsi deracines. Un systeme educatif original fut mis sur pied, systeme qui serait capable de combiner harmonieusement la modernite et la tradition. L'objectif de base etait de donner un ensemble de connaissances modernes et une bonne comprehension de la langue, de la religion et de la culture tibetaines. Afin d'analyser l'impact de ce systeme educatif sur les enfants des refugies tibetains vivant au nepal, nous etudierons dans quelle mesure leur education transmet la culture tibetaine et contribue a sauvegarder leur identite en situation de changement culturel.
