Why just study history when you can make it?
Close Up’s Premier Election Series provides exciting programs offered only once every four years—so don’t miss out!
Through the Premier Election Series, students witness history as it unfolds and delve into the most important and poignant issues facing our nation. Like our Washington Program, these programs bring students face to face with the people and institutions that impact policy decisions in and around Washington, but they also give students a first-hand look at our electoral process! And as only Close Up can do, we draw upon our educational partnerships and over 50 years of experience to provide hands-on, interactive discussions with an emphasis on specific policy issues.
The once-in-a-lifetime Premier Election Series programs for high school and middle school students include:
High School
I think Close Up’s virtual program is an amazing experience…
I’m truly blown away by what Close Up’s been able to accomplish in the last two weeks during IMPACT 2020…
The material seems very high level, and my daughter’s been very motivated to participate every day. I wanted to be sure to commend the staff on providing such a great experience!
As a government teacher, it’s nice to have more resources…
for teaching media literacy and having students critically think about the information they receive.
I plan to introduce Close Up’s professional development to the teachers I work with…
and use this as a part of my school’s requirement that students take action on issues of local, national, and international importance.
