They speak many languages and have several “emotional citizenships”. Three “Third Culture Kids” about cultural confusion and why a name is needed.
The young woman runs next to the cell phone camera and says: “We are TCKs – we speak three languages, but cannot spoke in any spelling”. Her little brother continues: “I’m fluent Arabic, but hardly anyone knows that.” The big sister: “My current address? I’ll come back to it later.”
Christina Haselden, 23, tells with her brother about how life is as a TCK, as a so -called “Third Culture Kid”. In German: third culture child. So someone who grows up in different countries and develops a mishmash from these influences, his own third culture in which it is at home.
