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.
The 2006 International
Economic Summit will be held
Tuesday, November 21 in the Tennessee Room of the
James Union Building on the campus of Middle
Tennessee State University.
If you would

Summit or coming to observe the competition, please
