International Families

Isn't it fascinating to live in another country and/or have a partner from abroad? It definitely comes with questioning things that otherwise would have been seen as given. And how do the dynamics change, when children enter the game? In this project, we invite international families to share their stories. We ask them about their daily lives: how does it look like? What do they experience when they interact with the surrounding society, what values and customs do they live by, how is their sense of belonging? And last but not least: how do they get along with their in-laws?! Curious about the results? Check out our booklet and the podcast.

Story

Story of this Project

Living in an international family can be a challenge, particularly once children are there. Language, culture, a sense of belonging – how are these transmitted in a family with a mix of heritages?

With the international family project, we want to collect and reflect upon stories from the everyday life in an international family. We’d like to highlight the opportunities and the challenges that come with a multicultural life, many of which we believe are common and independent of country of origin or country of residence.

We collect the stories in a booklet and in a podcast. Through the interviews, we invite to self-reflection and induce transformative learning in our audience. The booklet also includes a guided self-study component, to further the learning outcome.
