WHAT IS AN MK?

A Third-Culture Kid (TCK, also known as Trans-Culture Kid) is "an individual who, having spent a significant part of the developmental years in a culture other than the parents' culture, develops a sense of relationship to all of the cultures while not having full ownership in any. Elements from each culture are incorporated into the life experience, but the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of similar experience." --David Pollock, Interaction Director
