(2)

The Foreign Affairs Council of Glendon (FACG) is a bilingual international affairs student organization that aims to provide York University students with the utmost opportunities in preparing for future careers in government, non-governmental and international organizations. Established in 2013 as the successor to the Glendon NATO group, the FACG administers several projects which consist of dipl

omatic simulations and conferences that students can participate in, depending on their specializations and personal interests. In recent years, FACG delegates have attended the London Security Exercise, Model Courts of Justice, Carleton Model NATO, International Model NATO, Model Arab League, and the Model WTO. The primary goals of the FACG are to facilitate the training and mentoring of students and to provide them with opportunities to gain extracurricular experience in the international affairs sector through experiential education programs. The Council also puts an emphasis on acting as a liaison between professors who specialize in areas of international affairs that individual students or delegations are studying in preparation for their participation at simulations and conferences. The training, mentoring and leadership of FACG delegates is provided by senior-level students who have a strong background at simulations and an excellent academic record in international affairs scholarship. Since its inception, the FACG has sent delegations to more than half a dozen simulations and conferences on three different continents, with a combined operating budget of over $50,000. Our delegates have won dozens of awards for excellence and have competed with leading post-secondary institutions from around the world. Through the hard work of our executive team and our delegates, the FACG has been successful in fulfilling its mandate in an unprecedented manner, operating on a voluntary basis and without any sources of external funding whatsoever. As a result, we attribute our success to the dedication and professionalism of our members and to the executives that have put in countless hours of their own time to create what we believe to be the premiere international affairs student organization in Canada.

Attention future diplomats,

I would like to inform you of a Negotiations and Diplomacy workshop to be organized at Glendon Campus on Monday, January 29th from 5:30-7:30.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn about different negotiation tactics taught by an actual UN delegate, public policy writing, and diplomacy.

Register before it is too late. Registration is mandatory to attend.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/climate-change-negotiations-and-diplomacy-workshop-the-paris-climate-accord-tickets-42272428973?aff=CGHSDClimateChangeWorkshopW18

The event is a practical training workshop that will use a “hands-on” and “case-study” approach to build Public Policy, Multilateral Negotiations and diplomacy skills in the field of Climate Change policy and diplomacy.

This training workshop is targeted to anyone studying international relations, international development, political science, public policy, liberal arts and business, or professionals who intend to work with international organizations or who hope to make a career change to global affairs. The workshop is meant to give a “sneak peek” into the challenges that global affairs professionals face in their work with governments, international organizations, NGO's, private sector and other multilateral institutions.

This workshop is part of a series of policy and diplomacy workshops organized under the Center for Global Health Security and Diplomacy's Global Affairs Training Program in collaboration with Global Affairs Student Clubs, including the FACG, at York University.

See you there!

ATTENTION! Registration is now open for Carleton Model NATO 2018!

Carleton Model NATO 2018 is a unique four-day conference/simulation that brings together students from across Canada to debate solutions to the most pressing transatlantic and international security issues. The core of the event is an intensive and immersive two-day simulation of NATO decision-making and crisis management. By assuming the role of NATO member state representatives, students gain a rich and unique understanding of Alliance politics, priorities and challenges facing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as well as a much deeper understanding of critical international security issues and their solutions. Committee topics and crisis scenarios are designed to challenge delegates to think critically and creatively about NATO’s current operations, priorities, and future directions.

In addition to the simulation, students take advantage of Carleton MNATO's location in the nation’s capital to meet with Canadian policymakers and foreign and military policy officials, and diplomats and military officers representing NATO member countries. MNATO organizes visits to embassies, high commissions, and Canadian federal departments for students to receive briefings on their country’s specific position on Alliance policies and priorities. MNATO also hosts a range of distinguished speakers and important networking opportunities. Past speakers have included Canada’s Chiefs of Defence Staff, Ministers of Defence, Canadian and foreign Ambassadors, NATO officials, military attachés, and academic experts. The event affords a unique opportunity for young Canadians to gain a greater appreciation and more nuanced understanding of NATO and its important contributions to international peace and security, while at the same time developing negotiation and policy research skills.
