"A Third Culture Kid (TCK) is a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside the parents' culture. The TCK builds relationships to all of the cultures, while not having full ownership of 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 & VanReken, 2001)
All About Connections..
A group of strangers all with the same fascinating backgrounds came together to create this special page. Each of us was searching for a platform to unite us and connect us. Then came Third Culture Connects. We are so proud to share this space with each of you and we hope it finds a special place in your hearts as it has done for us. We hope this page brings you together, shines a light on how important you are and offers each of you a network of support. Each of us has a unique story to tell and we cant wait to hear yours. There is a blog page for story telling, joke sharing or general conversation. A Page about our society and culture for food for thought. A page dedicated to our background and theory A space created for sharing photos, videos, recipes and ideas with the group. And finally a video page for peoples creations. We hope this page offers you an extended family, new friends and an outlet for your needs and thoughts. Please share with us and each other and lets celebrate our lives together.
