Cause Description:
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. 6) This program fully meets California’s content standards for the 12th grade economics curriculum requirement and it is endorsed by Jack O’Connell, California State Superintendent of Schools. The program is highly endorsed by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. To date close to 2,000 California students have participated in this unique experience-based learning module
