Global Nomads in
Transition
Why are we here?
Driven by the International Baccalaureate
philosophy, LIS builds the skills and attitudes

Explore the meaning of global nomad and third culture kid (TCK)
Share our ideas about culture.
There are both challenges and opportunities connected to TCK
and global nomads.
Different children within families and different families experience
these transitions in a variety of ways.
Understanding the cultural issues helps us to prepare our children
for these transitions.

Where are you from?
What is the biggest challenge for you living in Luanda?
(yellow post it)
What do you think is the biggest challenge for your
child/children? (green post it)
Robin Pascoe - What is a third culture kid?

http://youtu.be/yaf2A0IZLto
TCK & Global Nomad
Third Culture Kid: someone who
has spent a significant part of their
developmental years overseas
Global Nomad: someone who has
spent a significant part of their
time/childhood overseas because of
their father's career
How do you know you are a TCK?
1. To everyone’s confusion, your accent changes depending on who you’re
talking to.
2. You have a love-hate relationship with the question “Where are you from?”
3. Your circle of best friends is as politically, racially, and religiously diverse
as the United Nations.
4. You get nervous whenever a form needs you to enter a “permanent
address.”
5. Love it or hate it, you have a strong and well-informed opinion on the I.B.
system.

6. And, no matter how many you say, good-byes never get easier.
East meets West: Yang Liu
So where’s home?

with you from the video.

Be prepared to discuss why they
resonate with you.
