Does this sound familiar?
Stranger: "Where are you from?"
You: "It's complicated."
A Third Culture Kid is defined as 'one who has grown up in multiple countries/cultures other than that of their parents'/passport country'.
It is always exciting to meet people you can relate to, and being a TCK often means having had similar experiences which may include:
- Moving country a lot whilst growing up
- Studying in international schools
- Adapting to different cultures
- Not knowing where ‘home’ is, being extremely culturally confused.
This is a social society created to meet, connect and share experiences with others, where a confusing mix of cultures is celebrated.
It is open to anyone and everyone interested in spending time in an international environment! We welcome all British, European and International students who are and are not TCKs - you most definitely do not need to be a TCK to come join us :)
We're here if you want to hang out with people from a bunch of different places. We're here to be your home away from home, to be a family that you can always rely on when you miss home (wherever that may be) and especially to allow TCKs (and non-TCKs) at Bristol to meet each other!
Best part about us - is that we are completely free! Come along to any of our socials whenever you like!
Our Socials include:
- International Potlucks!
- Pub and Club Socials
- Park Coffee & Picnics
- Bar Crawls
- Bristol Food Adventures
- Exploring Bristol (Clifton Suspension Bridge, Christmas Market and more!)
- Movie Nights
- Language Mingle
We are most active on Instagram @tck.bristol, so follow us for updates on when events are taking place!
If you would like to contact us with any questions, feel free to message us on our Insta or Whatsapp! We should get back to you pretty quickly!
