 The Meekieek eLearning course for Foreign Service staff. In today's increasingly interconnected and mobile world, more people are living, working, and traveling abroad than ever before in history. Migrant workers and their families, international students, business travelers, and tourists move to increasingly distant and diverse destinations. Growing international mobility means that the role of home countries' foreign services in assisting their nationals abroad is becoming increasingly important, and at the same time increasingly challenging. This is especially the case when the country in which the nationals are staying is affected by a crisis such as a disaster or a conflict. Improving the capacity to respond to crises of relevant personnel is key to ensuring that they can address their nationals' acute needs in their services and assistance. It is with this aim in mind that IOM, in collaboration with Foreign Services of its various member states, has developed an eLearning course on improving assistance to nationals affected by crises abroad. The course, comprising 14 modules for a total of five hours of content, targets consular staff, labor attaches, and other personnel of institutions mandated to serve and assist nationals abroad, providing information, guidance and tools to, among other things, communicate with nationals abroad before and during crises, provide key services and assistance to nationals abroad affected by a crisis, and facilitate the evacuation of nationals from crisis-affected areas. The course is available for free as a non-country-specific curriculum in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic. IOM encourages the further translation and adaptation of the course. To this end, it shares the source materials with governmental counterparts and supports their adaptation through targeted research and technical assistance upon request.
