Supporting Third Culture Kids and Cross Cultural Kids in their College Counselling JourneyInternational school is a cultural melting pot, with its students naturally accustomed to interacting with people from various countries. Spending one’s developmental years in a culture that is not their passport country’s identify them as a Third Culture Kid (TCK). Even if a student is growing up in their passport country, the mere fact of growing up in an international school setting makes them a Cross Cultural Kid (CCK), due to the significant part of their formative years being spent in a diverse environment.Being an adult TCK myself (South Korean national, growing up in Thailand, studying in the US, working in Hungary and now China) I reflect on this unique identity a great deal – and have recently written an article for the Times Higher Education, sharing my reflections on how to support TCKs and CCKS best in their college counselling journey. Please check it out for further insights and tips on how to support your TCK and CCK students best.
