International weeks
International Week is an outreach activity of the Air and Space Force Academy. It allows foreign cadets from different countries to learn about officer training in the French Air and Space Force. Moreover, it is an opportunity for sharing and interaction, as Air and Space Force Academy students accompany their foreign counterparts throughout the entire 5-day period, forging strong and lasting bonds.
During their stay, foreign delegations follow a rich and varied program of visits to military units, leadership workshops, cultural visits, conferences, and sports activities…
Each year, around 50 people from over a dozen countries are invited to Salon-de-Provence for this event.
The French Air and Space Force Academy encourages its cadets to learn about military academies around the world during what are called “international weeks”. Delegations from several countries come together to participate in dense, wide-ranging programs focused on cultural adaptation. Activities include presentations, visiting military units and bases, cadet exchange programs, seminars, and cultural events.
Each year 15 to 20 French cadets, often accompanied by French Air and Space Force Academy staff, attend these events in Europe (Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Romania) and around the world (China, Colombia, South Korea, Brazil, United States, Japan, Jordan…).
