About Us

Over the last couple of years Swansea University has seen a steady increase in student

numbers. This increasing student community is a reflection of the multicultural society that

we live. It has brought about the increase in the number of Tamils joining the university. To

reflect these numbers we have decided to create a society where people can gather and

enjoy all the delights the culture offers. The noun ‘Tamil’ refers to a language and a cultural

identity. Although there is high concentration of Tamils in its native home in Sri Lanka and

Southern India, there is a vast distribution of Tamils across the world. The vast majority of

Tamils in the UK are first or second generation born to parents who migrated from the

1960’s onwards.

Goals

1. Provide opportunities for one to fully immerse themselves in Tamil culture and

identity.

2. To encourage conversation on what it means to be a British Tamil.

3. Have an active role in promoting the Tamil culture on campus.

4. Engage on platforms to promote multiculturalism and equality for all.
