Global Economic Forum
A Two-Day Seminar for High School Social Studies Teachers
June 30–July 1, 2008
San Antonio, Texas

This forum will help high school educators address key issues that impact the global economy.

Trade in goods and services, foreign exchange markets and international capital flows are integral parts of globalization, the integration of the world economies. This two-day event will examine how these important topics as well as regional perspectives inform our understanding of the complex and interdependent global economy.

Sessions will provide opportunities to learn how to use conference content for classroom application. One of the forum’s highlights is videoconferencing collaboration among the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, Dallas and New York. A panel of economists will address in particular the roles of Africa, Latin America and Europe in the world economy.
