Visit www.aaari.info for full video. In June 2004, Pace University in New York organized its first international service-learning program to Mongolia. In cooperation with the Cultural Restoration Tourism Project (CRTP), a San Francisco-based NGO, students who registered for a regular course focusing on the history of Tibetan Buddhism had a chance to help restore a Tibetan Buddhist monastery at Baldan Baraivan, located 300 km east of the Mongolian capital of Ulaan Baatar. This lecture discusses the merits and limitations of this international service-learning experience for enhancing American undergraduate students' understanding of Tibetan Buddhist culture and Mongolian society. It proposes an integrated pedagogy that combines academic focus on Inner Asian history and Tibetan Buddhism with student volunteerism in a cross-cultural setting.

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2008 URL: www.unesco.org Description: The Urtiin duu or long song is one of the two major forms of Mongolian songs, the other being the short song (bogino duu). As a ritual form of expression associated with important celebrations and festivities, Urtiin duu plays a distinct and honoured role in Mongolian society. It is performed at weddings, the inauguration of a new home, the birth of a child, the branding of foals and other social events celebrated by Mongolias nomadic communities.The Urtiin duu can also be heard at the naadam, a festivity featuring wrestling, archery and horseracing competitions. The Urtiin duu is a lyrical chant, which is characterized by an abundance of ornamentation, falsetto, an extremely wide vocal range and a free compositional form. The rising melody is slow and steady while the falling melody is often intercepted with a lively rhythm. Performances and compositions of Urtiin duu are closely linked to the pastoral way of life of the Mongolian nomads on their ancestral grasslands. Widely believed to have originated 2000 years ago, the Urtiin duu has been recorded in literary works since the thirteenth century. A rich variety of regional styles has been preserved until today, and performances as well as contemporary compositions still play a major role in the social and cultural life of nomads living in Mongolia and in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Republic, located in ...

So far in episode three of The History Hut, we've discussed the role of women in the Mongol society, their views on religion and the military techniques used by Genghis Khan in his various conquests. Things would change for the Mongols in 1227 though, with the death of Khan. In part three of this episode we look at his successors, including Ogedei and the short-lived dynasty of Kublai Khan. As well, we discuss Marco Polo's involvement in the era (if he was even there!), and we chart the final conquests of the once great Mongols, along with their eventual demise.

April 2012 - at Schoeni Art Gallery, Hong Kong Schoeni Art Gallery is pleased to hold the first Hong Kong solo exhibition for Mongolian artist Munkhtsetseg Jalkhaajav (who is also known as "Mugi"). As the international art scene and market continues to strive to find the new threshold of all frontiers (whether it be the visual, conceptual or financial), Mongolian artists have garnered more and more attention. Mugi is one of the most famous female contemporary artists in Ulaanbaatar (UB), Mongolia. Mugi's work is rich with what appear to be contradictions and are actually the very originality and strength of her visual expression, supporting the cohesion of her message through all three bodies of work: paintings, collages on sa paper, soft sculptures, which all are in conversation with one another both in terms of form and content. The artist for instance attributes the genesis of the sculptures to her paintings as she describes them as a three dimensional elaboration of her first craft. Depicting womanhood from the universal to the personal, coming from a standpoint of equality indigenous to Mongolian history and society, dwelling on shamanism or traditional Mongolian medicine and contemporary global unbalances with Mother Nature, Mugi uses her hands, brushes or needles to reveal her own introspection as well as the cultural one her country is still undergoing, healing personal and collective losses in the process. In stillness in her paintings, reminiscent of icon ...
