AWQ 2023: HIALEAH-MIAMI LAKES GLOBAL TROJANS RETURN TO DC
Miami Dade County Issues Proclamation in Honor of Hialeah-Miami Lakes Global Trojans
In Spring 2023, we were proud to send the Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School #GlobalTrojans to Washington D.C. to compete in the World Affairs Councils of America's Academic WorldQuest national championship.
While in Washington, the World Affairs Council of Miami organized several visits around the capital for the four high school students and their teacher Ms. Rukayat Adebisi to learn more about the international affairs sector and the inner-workings of Washington D.C.
At the European Parliament Liaison Office in Washington DC, they gained a first-hand look into the European Union and discussed the latest on the transatlantic relationship. At FIU in Washington, D.C, they learned how Florida International University is positioning itself as a bridge between Miami and Washington D.C., as well as held a conversation with the Society for International Development, United States (SID-US) regarding the work of sustainable economic, social and political development. Thereafter, the students traveled to the United States Congress to meet with the Office of Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar in her capacity as Chair of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, House Committee on Foreign Affairs, where the students learned about the U.S. role in Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, the students attended an evening reception at the Organization of American States.
This program is provided by the World Affairs Council of Miami as a non-partisan, supplemental educational resource to the students of greater Miami at no cost to the kids, teachers, or schools.
