After eight years of working for Xenos, Jo Clifford is moving on to working overseas in a new field.

The Trustees of Xenos have reviewed the results of our recent research and have concluded that there is an ongoing need for a dedicated TCK organisation in the UK. They are currently looking at several ways of developing Xenos further.

As an organisation, we are looking to the future to continue to serve TCKs and their families in the UK. We are excited to see what might happen next!

Xenos - bringing TCK's together

Who?

Xenos is an organisation that seeks to serve Third Culture Kids (TCKs) of the world, enabling them to reach their full potential and resourcing those who work with TCKs.

How?

This is done by providing camps, conferences and resources.

Xenos is run by TCKs for TCKs to provide a relaxed atmosphere where TCKs can be themselves and can consider the challenges of re-entry into a new culture.

Xenos is committed to addressing the practical, emotional and spiritual adjustment to life in the UK.

What exactly is a "TCK"?

“A Third Culture Kid is a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside the parents culture".

The TCK builds relationships to all of the cultures, while not having full ownership in any.

Although elements from each culture are assimilated into the TCK’s life experience, the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of similar background.” (Dave Pollock)
