What is it like living in a country which is distinctly different from that of your parents? How diverse is this kind of living? In theoretical parlance, the individuals who live through this diversity are called third culture kids (TCK) or third culture individuals (TCI). They live in a different environment during a significant part of their child development years. They are typically exposed to a greater volume and variety of cultural influences than those who grow up in one cultural setting. The first culture of such individuals refers to the culture of the country from which their parents originated, the second culture refers to the culture in which the family currently resides, and the third culture refers to the distinct culture these individuals develop, which is generally a fusion of these cultures, -  and at times third culture individuals share no connection to the first two cultures.

“Diversity is here. We need to accept and embrace it, look at it as a richness and deal with it. Dealing with diversity implies managing it, not tolerating it”.  Vanessa Barros, CEO and Cofounder Leadership CQ 

“I always tend to see more similarities than differences. I always tend to see more things that we share than our contradictions” “Find the commonalities and emphasize them. Resolve conflicts not by force but by mutual acceptance”              Dr. Herbert Traxl, Former Austrian Ambassador
