We are still living with the pandemic, but we are also experiencing a period of social, racial, economic and environmental reckoning that spans the world. Even if by some miracle, we were to all begin to return to a life without lockdown tomorrow, the aftershocks of all these realities combined will be felt for a long time to come. Whatever your personal situation or experience, this has had an impact on all of us. The world has changed. FIGT2022 is dedicated to reflecting on these changes and asking the big question: ‘Where do we go from here?’ We are asking presenters to address one of three strands to help us begin to answer our theme question.
These may include but are not limited to: corporate, mission, diplomat, military, international governmental and international non-governmental organizations, sponsored and self-initiated expats, refugees, immigrants, expat partners, Adult Cross Culture Kids and Cross Culture Kids including Third Culture Kids, third culture adults, counseling and coaching services, educational services, relocation specialists, researchers, entrepreneurs, artists and media.
