The International Civil Aviation Organization simulation (Model ICAO) is a global negotiation simulation on civil aviation issues, based on the UN Model. Hundreds of students from the world's most prestigious schools and universities will attend this international event, from May 11 to 14, 2018 in Montreal (Canada).
The ENAC team is composed of 5 students from the various initial training courses provided by the school (engineering students, pilots, technicians, Master). The ENAC team will represent Canada during this full-scale exercise.
As part of the team, a student will hold the position of Ambassador. The remaining four will serve as representatives on technical committees. These committees are dedicated to the Environment, Air Transport Economics, Aviation Law and Aviation Security.
All of ENAC's educational resources have been made available to the team in order to best prepare them to play their role in this simulation: international relations, Debating club in English, international air law, environment, security, air transport economics... The preparation is intense, demanding and exciting for our students.
Farid Zizi, former Director of Studies and Research at ENAC, former First Deputy to the Permanent Representative of France to ICAO and three times President of the ICAO Air Navigation Council, will also come to share his experience and provide his wise advice as a negotiator. By May, the team will prepare a position paper on behalf of Canada on the themes of the 4 technical committees.
During the simulation in Montreal, they will have to put forward their arguments in order to converge the final compromise towards their position.
At the closing ceremony, prizes will be awarded to the teams that performed the best during the simulation.
