Recently, the Beijing Foreign Affairs Office held consular protection publicity activities on overseas study safety at the Beijing No. 4 High School International Campus, Capital University of Economics and Business, and the Beijing Public Safety Experience Hall. Focusing on the safety risks students may encounter while studying abroad, the activities integrated safety awareness education with practical skills training to help students studying abroad enhance their safety awareness, improve their ability to prevent risks, and pursue their studies abroad safely.

Tailored Courses

The activities provided tiered public education tailored to secondary and university students. Covering topics such as pre-departure preparations, adapting to study and daily life overseas, and responding to emergencies, the courses were designed to meet students’ needs and equip them with specialized “overseas safety toolkits.”

Hands-On Emergency Training

With a focus on key aspects of overseas study safety, including emergency response and daily travel, the activities used realistic simulations and interactive exercises to recreate dangerous situations. This helped students learn how to respond appropriately to emergencies and sharpen their ability to identify and guard against telecom fraud. Through hands-on training, students gained practical emergency response skills to better protect themselves while studying abroad.

To further expand the reach of consular protection publicity, the Beijing Foreign Affairs Office also held online Consular Protection Lectures, creating a diverse and interconnected communications network to engage a wider audience. The initiative made it easier for students and parents to access overseas safety information, with the livestreams attracting a total of 206,000 views.

Qi, a student at the Beijing No. 4 High School International Campus, said, “This was such a valuable course. I learned a lot of practical skills, and I won’t be scared of being on my own abroad anymore.”

Ms. Zhang, a parent who attended the lecture online, said, “Our biggest concern when our children study abroad is their safety. I learned a lot about overseas safety from the lecture, and I feel much more reassured now.”
