Connected Parenting Group - Safe Home Based Moai (19 Oct 2026)

Our Safe Home Base Moai returns on 19 October 2026. Join us for ten weekly sessions of practical, research-backed tools. Part 1 (slated for October 19th to November 16th) is about connecting with ourselves: staying steady under pressure and parenting from your values. Part 2 (from November 23rd to January 11th) is about connecting with our children: validation, co-regulation, repair after a rupture, and problem-solving together. Open to parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers and child-focused professionals.

Sessions will be facilitated by FIGT member Andrea Schmitt, M.Sc. Clinical Psychology, certified Teen Girl Life Coach and TCK debriefer.

Non-FIGT members welcome.

Times: 7:00 PM Mexico City · 8:00 PM New York (note that clocks will change for sessions after October) · 5:00 PM Los Angeles · Tue 9:00 AM Singapore

Let's Talk! Global Citizenship (24 Oct 2026)

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 13:00:00 GMT

* You have moved countries.
* You have parents from different cultural backgrounds.
* You are raising children all over the world.
* You are part of an organisation that sends or supports staff on international assignments.

Join us on Saturday, October 24th for our next engaging and informative Let's Talk! session where we'll explore how our understanding of Third Culture Kids, cultural identity and global citizenship is evolving.

This conversation coincides with the publication of the 4th edition of Ruth van Reken's Third Culture Kids and brings together voices from different generations and perspectives:

Ruth van Reken — on the evolution of the TCK concept, the newer CCK (cross culture kids) framework and how it fits today's landscape.

Markian Benhamou — representing TCK Fest and a new generation of TCKs in their, late teens, 20s and early 30s: how they identify, what they are looking for, and how the term TCK lands with them today.

Elleyne (Doni) Aldine of Culturs Global Media — exploring the wider landscape of global citizenship and cultural fluidity.

This event is open to FIGT members and non-members and we sure hope you'll be able to join us!
