Books, videos, and websites for Third Culture Kids

Welcome to TCK Resources!

This website is designed to be a collection of resources for Third Culture Kids (TCKs): those individuals who have spent a large amount of their childhood in a culture different than that of their parents, and so develop a sense of belonging to both cultures. This includes Missionary Kids, Military Brats, children of business people or diplomats, or any other expat family.

We have organized these resources in a way that makes it easy to find something relevant to you, whether you're a parent or teacher of TCKs or a TCK yourself. You can filter and search for just the book (or video, movie, etc) you want by intended audience, genre, topic, and location.

Looking for a picture book that explains cultural differences to your kids? A comprehensive guide to raising a Third Culture family? Or maybe a novel about a TCK who balances the grief of leaving with the excitement of starting something new? Just curious what stories or memoirs have been written about TCKs? Whatever you are hoping to find, click below to start your search!

Please note: We are still in process! We have already added lots of children's books and older books but still have many resources and TCK memoirs to add. So please be patient if you can't find exactly what you're looking for yet. Check back periodically to see what's new, or suggest a book you think should be on our site!

Here are some of our all time favorites:

High School Week Without Walls: Seeing Beyond Ourselves

# data[].attributes.body
I participated in WWW programs in several schools and want to propose WWW at my current school.
As a world language teacher, I have organized or chaperoned both local and international cultural trips for students. Therefore, I am also interested in how to support chaperonses in WWW.

How to take WWW beyond sightseeing and make WWW a valuable learning experience for ALL students?

How to maximize the value of WWW programs as a way to supplement our traditional classroom education?

1. WWW cases study (structure, academic connection, program improvement and management for recurring visits, etc).

2. Global education literature review.

3. Supporting conceptual framework.

While deeply valuing my own Chinese cultural rootedness, I find myself a partially Third-Culture-Adult after spending 7 years outside of China. I am experiencing reverse culture shock when I am back in my homeland and at the same time experiencing racial and xenophobia tensions in the US.

1. There is often a lack of opportunities for students to interact with people they meet and engage with their surroundings in an authentic way.
2. schools often collaborate with business travel companies to design the trips: not personalized, and expensive.

People often picture TCKs as children of international company employees and diplomats. But within the group, there are also children of refugees, religious missionaries, international teachers, and immigrants.

Global education has been historically eurocentric and English-language-dominated. With our reality evolving to a highly diverse and interdependent world, global education needs to be reexamined and reimagined.

1. How can global education sustainably support our future generations?

2. Is our global education truly global?

3. What is the role of community service in global education?

# data[].attributes.body
As an international educator, I am witnessing a rising number of a unique student population. They are so-called Third Culture Kids (TCK). They are citizens of nowhere and everywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
Good intentions: WWW is a programme through which students engage in either international or locally-based community service opportunities. WWW allows all students to engage in experiential learning outside the traditional classroom setting.

I am a Chinese language acquisition teacher who currently works at an international school in NYC and has worked at other international locations such as India, Myanmar, China.
