Global Nomads: Finding Home in the Age of Technology (2018)
How has technology impacted the Global Nomad experience? Global Nomads: Finding Home in the Age of Technology looks at the global nomad experience over the past 20 years and includes student interviews from 1994, 2001, and 2014. Building on the interviews in its predecessor Global Nomads: Cultural Bridges for the New Millennium (2001), this new video illustrates the impact of technology and social media over time.
“I never thought my background would impact me as much as I now realize it has – I always thought I was unique and others didn’t share the same feelings.” – Ala
The enthusiasm and energy between the GN/TCK college students in these videos is evident, as they share experiences and insights with others who can truly understand them and share a common culture. They speak with clarity, honesty, and eloquence about both the joys and struggles that come with their internationally mobile backgrounds.
