Our goal

Helping children connect meaningfully with their heritage.

Finchley Tamil Koodam is a volunteer-run Tamil language and culture school created for children growing up in the UK. Our goal is simple: to help young people connect meaningfully with their heritage while feeling fully at home in the culture and country they live in.

Children experience Tamil not just as a subject, but as something alive, expressive and fun.
