Can you relate to this statement?

"In fact, the more YA books I read where I didn’t find characters like me, the more my personal narrative of being an outsider, an oddity, was reinforced."
- Simeon Harrar

"As Adult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs), our identities are rich tapestries woven
from the threads of various cultures and languages. Embracing what I call a "Not
Only But Also" mentality is essential for appreciating the full spectrum of our
multifaceted identities. This mindset enables us to value the complexities of who
we are, fostering an inclusive outlook that acknowledges and celebrates our diverse
backgrounds."
~ Ute Limacher-Riebold

Has anyone told you your plan to move to a new country was crazy?

As ATCKs it's not crazy at all. It may seem simple and exciting but can still be laced with hard things.

Check out this poem by Elizabeth H**p, which highlights how easy it can be to plan a trip like this.

Her last four lines are my favorite. Read them slowly. This is where I see ampersand. I see that train of thought as both a benefit and a challenge.

Hannah Clark Maynard

"Stories locked away and hidden destroy the creativity of the soul. They dismantled mine. Is it possible to reignite the childhood fire of delight and joy?"

"For most of us, childhood is a mixed bag – some good, some bad, a few great moments, and a few terrible moments. If your story was wonderful, it doesn’t mean people who had difficult experiences are anomalies or lying. If your story was difficult, it doesn’t mean people with good stories don’t exist. Every story is valid and valuable. Every story is part of the tapestry of what makes up the TCK world, and every voice matters."

This week shares about new research and why it's important.

"In October 2023, a gathering of 200+ people, along with 100+ more people registered online, met for five days to attend a conference near and dear to many of you. A conference where many found their “tribe” or reconnected with friends from the past. It was the International Third Culture Kid Conference (ITCKC).

This conference was unlike any previous conferences focusing on MKs/ TCKs. It was unique in several ways, but notably in its diversity: people gathered from 70 countries; 344 attended, with 110 people representing the Global South from that number. Those planning this event were “overjoyed” and “overwhelmed.” But who was behind all of this?"

To read more about this, plus the three themes cultivated from our recent survey about the conference, click on the link below.
