Discussion Topic:

Growing up across countries, cultures, and continents means carrying pieces of every place you’ve ever called “home.” For Third Culture Kids and global citizens, identity becomes layered, fluid, and lived in the in-between, a space that is both beautiful and lonely. Let’s share and explore our experiences as 3rd Culture individuals such as our belonging, our connections, and the search for a “home” that doesn’t always exist in just one place.

1. Do you feel at home everywhere, nowhere, or somewhere in between? How has living across cultures shaped your sense of self and the hybrid identity you’ve created?

2. What parts of your cultural background ground you kept and what parts have you chosen to let go?

3. How have your multicultural experiences given you unique strengths?

4. How has being a 3rd Culture individual made relationships, friendships, and the sense of belonging more complex?

Excited to join you for the insight discussion and share ideas!
