Real-life #DiploBrats all over the world are exploring new cities and new schools! Adapting to new places and cultures becomes a superpower as these kids join new communities every couple of years. Class starts tomorrow for these two! #tck #civics #education

First day of school for these real-life #DiploBrats! MV couldn't be prouder of their resilience. Three years ago, we told them we were headed to Bangkok, but then back to the US... ...and then... #tck #civics #education

Libraries are magical ✨ #DiploBrats

“Exile is a heavy word.” 🌏 it is also one of the themes that our #DiploBrats explore in Book One - Stateless globalvoices.org/2024/08/20/bei…

Which style should we go with for the first book on our coming elementary school #DiploBrats short stories graded level readers? The books will be set in international schools and will pair students from all countries with stories about civic values in their communities. #KidLit
