3rd Culture
Belonging Everywhere, and Nowhere, all at once
About


The Name
3RD CULTURE was named as an ode to the sociological theory: Third Culture Kids. Coined by the American sociologist Ruth Useem in the 1950s, the term “third-culture kid” was conceived for expatriate children who spend their formative years overseas, shaped by the multicultural, backgrounds of their parents. (Definition from journalist Noor Brara, New York Times).
​
3rd Culture Kids experience a battle within, as they seek to assimilate whilst maintaining cultural heritage and developing their personal identities, giving them a unique perspective of society.
​
With Australia now becoming a majority migrant population, the importance of Diversity & Inclusion awareness and training becomes high priority for organisations seeking to stay connected with the societal and political zeitgeist.
