About us
About the Group
Ever felt like you belong everywhere and nowhere at once? Whether you grew up across borders, live in a new country, have a mixed heritage, or are in an intercultural relationship, you’ve found your tribe. If you see the world as one community and thrive in diversity, this group is for you!
Welcome to 3rd Culture Unity Group! We are a global nomadic community of Third Culture Kids (TCK), Cross Culture Kids (CCK), global citizens and unity advocates uniting to share our cross-cultural journeys.
We believe in the magic of “1 + 1 = 3” where combining cultures doesn’t dilute identity but creates a hybrid, uniquely beautiful culture we can call our own.
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.
A Cross Culture Kid (CCK) is someone who lives in or meaningfully interacts with two or more cultural environments for a significant period during their developmental years. These experiences often create a unique “third culture”, not tied to geography, but to shared identity, empathy, and global perspective.
What We Do
We host several themed meetup series designed to celebrate both connection and curiosity:
- 3rd Culture Talks: Deep, vulnerable discussions where we explore identity, belonging, and the living in-between. Have you ever felt like you belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time? What does “home” mean to you now?
- Global Table: Monthly gatherings centered around food, stories, and traditions from around the world.
- Unity Arts and Music: Experiencing the creative mindsets of people across the globe, where East meets West.
- Unity Talks: Conversations and community nights that explore unity across faiths, cultures, values, and worldviews. We focus on shared humanity rather than division.
