- "Global Nomads as World Citizens: Using our Past to Serve the Future"
-
- The term "global nomads" refers to individuals who have lived pre-adult years
- outside their passport countries because of a parent's occupation. As the son
- and daughters of diplomatic, military, missionary, international business or
- inter-governmental agency personnel, for example, our childhood learning ground
- has been the world itself. Given this, we form a unique and distinct cultural
- group with specific characteristics and common experiences.
