What we’re about
Welcome to the Third Culture Adults (TCK) Group
Are you someone who grew up in multiple cultures or countries? Do you have a mixed heritage or are you in an intercultural or interfaith relationship? Do you love traveling, exploring diverse cultures, and see the world as one global community? Do you identify as a global citizen, passionate about unity and diversity? If so, this vibrant and inclusive group is the perfect community for you!
A Third Culture Kid (TCK) is an individual who, having spent a significant part of their developmental years outside their parents' culture, builds relationships to all of the cultures, while not having full ownership in any. Although elements from each culture are assimilated into the TCK’s life experience, the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of similar background." — Pollock & Van Reken, 2001.
###
A Cross Culture Kid (CCK) is a person who is living in—or meaningfully interacting with—two or more cultural environments for a significant period of time during their developmental years." — Pollock & Van Reken, 2009.
