The Euro Challenge has introduced me to the global economy I did not have much interest prior to the competition. Now I have a good grip on European economics and what a vital role the EU plays in the world.Madeline Lag2012 Euro Challenge semi-finalistElgin High School, Elgin, IL
I saw my students get excited and take initiative in learning about world and European economics, gain experience in talking to educated adults in unfamiliar surroundings, and develop confidence. Your program provided the impetus for these results.Peter SteinTeacherOceanside High School (2012 Euro Challenge semi-finalist), Oceanside, NY
The entire competition was very worthwhile both for my students and me. The level of economics that they now understand outclasses most of the student population in the school. AND they had a blast!Jose MelgarejoTeacherNewark Collegiate Academy, one of 2013's first time participating schools
I appreciate the motivation the Challenge gives to my students to go beyond the classroom in learning about economics and Europe as well as improving their speaking skills.Alice PurcellTeacherFirst Baptist Christian Academy (2012 Euro Challenge semi-finalist), Pasadena, TX

The nature of the competition gets students to think deeply about economic, social & government issues.Richard DonnellyTeacherBedford High School (2012 Euro Challenge semi-finalist), Bedford, MA
ambassadorThe Euro Challenge is a great learning experience for these students as they go beyond the headlines of economic news to fully understand key economic concepts and the complex realities faced by policymakers. By learning how Europe is dealing with these challenges, the Euro Challenge helps young Americans to have a better understanding of how Europe and America are deeply connected.Ambassador João Vale de AlmeidaHead of the European Union Delegation to the United StatesWashington, DC
The Euro Challenge brings the EU to life better than any text book or web site. It gives bright young Americans a lifelong interest in economics and in the EU-US partnership – which today is more important than ever, as we work together for sustainable global recovery.José Manuel BarrosoPresident of the European Commission
Besides the financial, economic, and global education they received, the competition was confidence-building and an opportunity to strengthen their communication skills. It was refreshing for me and instructive for the team to see the different organizations working so well together towards a common goal. You guys pulled off a flawless event and I’m grateful for your dedicationThomas BradyTeacherThe Delbarton School (4th place in 2012 Euro Challenge), Morristown, NJ
