Perillo; Ms. Christine Elliott, Managing Director Global Corporate Affairs, Moody's; and Michael Curtis, Deputy Ambassador of the EU to the US.

Euro Challenge is a program of the Delegation of the European Union to the United States in partnership with the Moody’s Foundation, Working in Support of Education (W!se) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Launched in 2006, Euro Challenge is an exciting educational opportunity for 9th and 10th grade high school students to learn about the European Union (EU) and the euro. Teams of three to five students are asked to make presentations answering specific questions about the European economy and the single currency, the euro. They are also asked to pick one member country of the “euro area” (the 19 EU member countries that have adopted the euro so far), to examine an economic problem at the country level, and to identify policies for responding to that problem. #EuroChallenge - http://euro-challenge.org. The Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence has been participating in the Euro Challenge and recruiting Florida High School since 2006. It is the organizer of the preliminary competition in Florida.
