Parent Round Table:
Building Connection in the Expat Family
A series of open community gatherings for expat parents navigating the challenges of raising teens abroad.
Parenting in a foreign country comes with unique challenges. From language barriers to cultural differences, it can feel like you're navigating uncharted waters. And when your teen is caught between worlds, the strain on connection can feel overwhelming.
You're not alone.
These gatherings are a space to share your experiences, learn from others, and find practical strategies to strengthen the bond with your teen—even when you feel like you're speaking different languages.
Join us at BRIDGE in Zurich for a lunch full of real conversation, shared stories, and actionable takeaways. No scripts. No perfect answers. Just honest dialogue and a supportive community.
