Founded in 2014, UEA Tamil Society aims to bring people of all backgrounds together, Tamil or not, to promote and raise awareness of the vibrant Tamil culture.
The Tamil language is said to be one of the oldest, which is the root of our ancient civilisation originating from South India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. A rich background, centuries of history, deep ties to religions and fine arts and unique cuisine culminate to form a culture we would like you to experience.
At UEA, we strive to celebrate and promote the unique talents that new students bring year after year. We host and partake in numerous events, from Go Global to our very own Gaana Night! As a young society with lasting partnerships to cultural societies we regularly collaborate with, we believe joining Tamil Society will provide long long-lasting memory throughout your years in UEA and provide an escape from the rigours of your course.
As a cultural society within UEA, we believe it is important to promote our culture and get involved with issues within the university and the city. We are in close partnerships with charities such as The Little Things, which have given students the opportunity to take part in fundraising events such as skydiving and climbing Machu Picchu for global healthcare projects!
From club nights like our iconic Gaana Night to chill evenings like movie nights, fun sports collaborations, festive food sales, and our big Cultural Ball, Tsoc has a packed year of exciting events lined up. We’re also working on large-scale projects like an end-of-year boat party and more, so whether you’re here for the vibes, the culture, or the food, there’s something for you!
