SeaChange

Do you know about Google alerts? You can specify key words / phrases and you’ll be emailed posts on the web that contain those words/phrases. It’s a great way to stay up to date with news, articles and information in your field, your business or just things you’re interested in. I’ve set up some Google Alerts for cross cultural, raising cross cultural kids and parents (amongst other things) and sometimes come across something worthwhile. My problem is that I lack the time to go through everything on a daily basis so I tend to do this monthly instead, or whenever I can find the time.

My latest discovery via Google Alerts, via an article on digitaljournal.com is of an amazing organization called SeaChange. SeaChange helps young people who are third culture kids (TTKs – I talk about TTKs in my book, Bringing Up Brits), global nomads and expat students in high school or university. They offer mentoring and guidance in order to help young adults apply their international background to academic, professional and personal success. They also help young adults develop resilience and life skills to be able to navigate transitions to university and their passport country.

If you are a parent of a TTK aged between 14 and 20, or you’re planning to move to a foreign country, then take some time to look at the SeaChange website and get in touch with them directly. It could make all the difference to your children’s lives abroad, their education and their personal outlook on life which will ultimately help them in their current daily lives and beyond into young adult life.

SeaChange also run events, symposiums and give lectures and talks. It’s such a great idea and think of what an amazing thing this could be for your son or your daughter.
