What is the Summit?
The International Economic Summit (IES) project provides high school students with the opportunity to explore basic concepts within the theme of international trade. Working in small groups, student teams adopt a country and take on the role of economic advisors. The goal for each team is to improve their country's standard of living through international trade. Each team conducts extensive research to evaluate conditions within their country and develop a strategic plan to improve living standards. The culminating summit event brings all countries together to implement their strategic plans through a day of negotiation and trade.
Congrats Jennifer Reyes, Tianna Bates and Jenny Vera representing Ecuador on their 1st place overall finish, woot!
