The Bhutan Network

The Bhutan Network was founded in 2013 by Kristel Josel and Ulrike Čokl. An Austrian based, and registered association, the Bhutan Network is a non-profit organisation that aims to connect people with varied skills in Bhutan and Europe. Our aim is to facilitate cooperation and exchange of like-minded people and create bonds based on mutual respect and interests.

Approach

We base our approach on the Bhutanese understanding of thuenlam. Thuenlam in Dzongkha, the National language of the kingdom of Bhutan, refers to “the harmonious way”, connection, friendship and cooperation. Our main target groups are – albeit not exclusively – people at grassroots level who constitute the backbone of a thriving society, but who often lack the means to network with would-be colleagues abroad.

Where We Are

The Bhutan Network – in Austria

The Bhutan Network is a registered association in Austria (Bhutan Network). However, we work with interested people and organizations from all over the world under the shared guiding principles of the Bhutan Network.
