The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast

Ep.18: Talking About Difference at Home

What happens when your child points out difference in public - and you don’t know how to respond? In this episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I reflect on a real-life moment shared by a parent, and explore how we can talk about difference with children in a calm, open, and respectful way. We look at why avoiding difference can create confusion, how language shapes understanding, and how small everyday moments can help children develop curiosity instead of uncertainty. A reflective episode for parents who want to raise children who meet diversity with curiosity, confidence, and respect.

Ep.14: Belonging, Identity and Global Citizenship

In this episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I explore belonging and identity through my lived experience of growing up cross-cultural in Norway. What does it mean to feel at home in a place — and what happens when that belonging is subtly questioned? I then connect identity and belonging to global citizenship — not as an abstract ideal, but as a practice of widening the circle of who counts as “us.”   If you’ve ever reflected on where you belong, how your identity has evolved, or what it means to live as a global citizen, this episode is for you.   If you are cross-cultural yourself and navigating multiple cultural worlds, I’ve created a free PDF guide with my five best tips to help you bridge your different cultural identities into a more integrated sense of self. 👉🏽[Click here to get the guide [https://www.nawarsayyad.no/5-tips-to-cultural-bridging]]
