Summary
To support teachers across the world, IOM has also developed (in collaboration with the International Baccalaureate) the World Migration Educators' Toolkit to assist educators in their work to provide young adults with an understanding of the essentials of migration through 11 flexible modules. The Toolkit draws upon the extensive research and analysis in the World Migration Report series, the flagship publication of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), to deliver specialized tools and resources for use by key audiences, such as educators. Through the Toolkit classrooms are able to engage critically on crucial themes related to population movement, demographic change and the drivers of migration, displacement and mobility. An interactive digital toolkit, to supplement the PDF version, was launched on 30 March 2022.

Detailed Information
Benefit and Impact
The toolkit contributes to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education, particularly target 4.7 to “ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development…”. It also contributes to objective 3 of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM), providing accurate and timely information on migration to both educators and students. A toolkit such as this is especially timely, given the significance of international migration and the need for balanced and accurate information to counter disinformation about migration and migrants.
Key Lessons
- Developing the World Migration Educators’ digital platform required coordination across three entities in different time-zones, which was initially time-consuming. An iterative approach involving close collaboration between the IOM research division, IOM online communications unit, and an external data visualization expert were essential for the success and sustainability of the project.
