Sources: Worlds Here and There
Worlds Here and There: A Handbook for International Transition, by Paul Snider and Donna Kushner, Lulu.com, 2024. 65 pages.
If you’ve moved to another country, you know it can feel like entering a new world. Your culture, climate, and community all change drastically. And in transition, it can feel like you’re stuck in between different worlds.
This activity book provides ways to identify and process the differences between those worlds and helps the reader develop self-understanding, connect with their team, family, or community, and take steps towards healthy transition.
The book includes six different activities, prompts for reflection, questions for discussion or sharing with others, and instructions for leading the main activity as a family or for a large group. It’s meant for missionaries, military personnel, and international workers and can be used with families, individuals, and teams.
