The times they are a changin’. The Diplomatic Academy has transformed into the International Academy. We remain the focal point of learning and development for the new Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Look out for lots of great stories and initiatives Keep following!

One of our key messages at the FCDO's International Academy is that learning must be a part of our everyday work. 'Learning in the flow of work' as Josh Bersin puts it. Here's a great article from HBR with some ideas on how you can do this. hbr.org/2019/02/making… #learnatwork

A wonderfully entertaining hour of Richard Moore the Political Director in the FCDO in conversation with his father John Moore. John started his 44 year career with the Foreign Office in 1945, age 16. With 75 years of service between them, they had so many fascinating stories!
