Date and Location
FIGT is pleased to announce our 2019 Annual Conference #FIGT2019 will be held at NIST International School in Bangkok, Thailand on April 26-28, 2019. This represents an exciting, innovative first-time opportunity to bring the conference and people together in the Asia-Pacific region
Families in Global Transition is a
welcoming forum for globally mobile individuals, families, and those working
with them. We promote cross-sector connections for sharing research and
developing best practices that support the growth, success and well-being of
people crossing cultures around the world.
Scholarship
The David C Pollock Scholarship Fund
pays tribute to the foundational international educator, minister, sociologist,
and co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing up Among Worlds, David C
Pollock. David’s tireless support,
vision and dedication to families in global transition impacted countless
people in every corner of the globe. Building on Pollock’s legacy, FIGT aims to
attract, involve and educate emerging, global-minded, intercultural
leaders. It is a place where research
comes to life, and lived experiences are explained and valued.
The David C Pollock Scholarship therefore provides highly motivated individuals working or studying in the intercultural and transnational mobility fields the opportunity to attend the FIGT conference. In selection our guiding question is, "Who is missing at the FIGT table?" We are looking for a diverse field of applicants across our traditional sectors, (corporate, diplomatic, research, military, mission, arts and entrepreneurial) plus voices not well represented, such as those involved in immigration and refugee work, an increase in male voices, and participants from underrepresented parts of the globe.
