Are you a Third Culture Kid? If so, you may like to help a former NIS student who is here for a short time reliving old memories at NIS. Part of his progamme is to interview some Third Culture Kids about their experiences. If you would be happy to be interviewed please email me or come or come to my office and let me know. The following may help you decide if you are indeed a Third Culture Kid.
“A TCK is someone who differs from their parent’s culture, someone who has spent a great deal of their childhood years moving from one culture to another. A TCK is someone who has a hard time answering the question “Where is home?” Because they have felt ‘home’ at different moments in time and in different places. Someone with an unclear cultural identity, caught between different worlds. ”
If this is you, please consider sparing a few minutes to meet our former NIS student and answer some questions. Email me now. Thanks.
Tonight, at 7pm, #pypchat on twitter. Tonight’s topic is Concept Driven Learning. See wiki for possible questions and resources. http://pypchat.wikispaces.com/
