Abstract [en]
This paper explores the potential of using social media channels and digital displays deployed in public places to foster connectedness for Third Culture Kids. Third Culture Kids (TCKs) is a designation that refers to children who spend a significant number of their formative years outside their parents' native culture(s), and who live in several countries other than the one stated on their passport during that time. In order to start understanding the potential requirements for an enabling system, three exploratory studies were conducted: two of these studies focused on the current usage of social media channels by TCKs, while the third study investigated the possibilities of airports as meaningful places to deploy possible community-building technologies for TCKs. The preliminary findings were highly encouraging, providing a basis for us to devise a programme for future work.
