Let's discuss about cross culture kids - Having a drink at Exki
Details
Let's have a drink between online talks watchers, in english, and discuss about third culture kids (TCK) and cross culture kids (CCK).
TCK and CCK feel in a cultural "in-between". Influenced by many cultures, they have a different sensitivity, a different perspective of life.
TCK refer to children who grew in a culture different from their parents and travelled a lot.
CCK refer to children who grew between multiple cultures (parents originally from another country, two parents from distinct cultures).
Some of them, when adults, decide to settle in a country, to build an identity, have close friends, and belong to a community by adopting its social codes.
Some others cannot consider to stay in a country, crave for multicutural experiences and cultivate their individuality.
Some miss a country, whatever the country they live.
Some live in a multcultural flatsharing.
What is your opinion ? If you are TCK or CCK, how do you live your otherness ? If your are not one, how are your relationships with TCK and CCK ? How do you consider your children education ?
Until now, on each and every meeting between the members of this group, we have a good time, we laugh, we talk about a lot of interesting topics, there is serendipity, and people are happy to meet like minded people.
