TESTIMONIAL
“As part of our Getting to Know Europe grant, the Global Society club will be working with local area high school students on a model EU competition. Rachel Rothstein and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting with the club's Vice President and President, Catherine Barrios and Roberto Garcia respectively, a couple of weeks ago and we were very impressed with their proposal. Talk about two students with bright futures ahead of them! ” - Lisa Booth from the University of Florida Center for European Studies

RECENT PROJECT
I'm co-devoloping the first Florida Model European Union competition for secondary students. We are looking forward to working with the University of Florida's Center for European Studies on this special project. It is our hope that we can increase awareness of how the European states collaborate, the importance of the European Union, and introduce current issues affecting this region of the world to the high school students and our community as a whole.
