TCK – coined by Dr Ruth Hill Useem, ‘Third Culture Kid’ refers to a person who has been brought up in a culture other than that of their parents’.

They belong to a ‘third culture’: a space where both of those influences come together. You can read more about this here: http://www.tckworld.com/useem/home.html#
