About this event

Family & Education • Parenting

A practical seminar for parents, educators, and expat families navigating life across cultures.

What happens when children grow up outside their passport country? They often become Third Culture Kids (TCKs)—resilient, globally minded, and adaptable, but also navigating unique challenges in identity, belonging, and transition.

In this seminar, we’ll explore:

✨ What it means to be a Third Culture Kid

✨ The unique strengths and challenges TCKs face

✨ How parents can provide stability in seasons of change

✨ Practical tools for supporting emotional well-being, friendships, and education

✨ Strategies for thriving as a family in a cross-cultural context

Whether you’re preparing for a move, newly arrived in Spain, or already raising children between cultures, this session will equip you with insights and actionable steps to help your kids flourish.

Who should attend:

  • Parents raising kids abroad
  • Educators and school staff working with international students
  • Counselors, mentors, and community leaders supporting expat families
