Third Culture Kid TeleClass

 Are you a "Third Culture Kid" or adult? Are you a parent, family member or teacher and feel like you want to learn more
about this Third Culture way of life?
Just about every TCK we talk to has occasional questions and some frustration when it comes to belonging, their relationships, and the Third Culture way of life.

What do you think Ruth Van Reken, co-author of Third Culture
Kids: The Experience of Growing Up Among Worlds, and Paulette Bethel, an international transition coach,
have discovered over their careers serving expatriate communities through various forms of trainings, on-site workshops, and writing, that can help you?
Plenty. And they're ready to teach you the "7 Things Every TCK Should Know" in the first teleclass ever held for TCKs.
In fact, they have so much material, they will have 90-minute
classes to ensure you learn all these important life skills.
In addition, there is a free mini-course by Ruth Van Reken to answer ALL of your top questions.
In this teleclass, you will learn:
1. How do I sort out who I am and where I belong when I can't get past the feeling of belonging "everywhere and nowhere?"
2. How can I make and maintain friendships with non-TCKs and TCKs?
3. How do I deal with the grief I still feel from long ago losses of country and friends?
4. How do I stop restlessness, and the cycles of separation and loss I continue to create for myself because I can't seem to stay in one place more than 2-3 years?
5. How do I learn to recognize and develop fully the gifts I
received from this TCK experience?

...and there is more on the site.

This is an exciting event because it's the first teleclass
held for TCKs. It has never been done before.
You can ask Ruth and Paulette your questions live by email or on the phone. It's like a conference but without any travel or conference fees -- you can listen to it online or
on the phone.

And it's completely free!


You can get all the details about this teleclass (and a list
of some of the questions they are going to be answering) at this web page:

IMPORTANT: Please check out that page right away. This is
a time limited AND space limited event. There is a free mini-course after you sign-up by email - EVEN if you can't attend the event!

Josie, that's a good question. :)

a third culture kid couuuld have three differerent backgrounds but here is the most widely used definition.

Third Culture Kid "refers to someone who [as a child] has spent a significant period of time in one or more culture(s) other than his or her own, thus integrating elements of those cultures and their own birth culture, into a third culture".
