Project Close-Up
Close Up's mission is built on the belief that textbooks and lectures alone are not enough to help students understand the democratic process and make it work. Students need a "close up" experience in government. Close Up’s national, state, and local experiential government studies programs strengthen participants’ knowledge of how the political process works, increase their awareness of major national and international issues, and motivate them to become actively involved in the world around them.
Close up Washington, D.C. is much more than a field trip – it’s an exciting, weeklong study-visit to the nation’s capital, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the federal government and experience the political process firsthand. While most visitors to the city only see Washington’s monuments and museums, with Close Up Washington, D.C. you’ll get an inside look at the nation’s capital – meeting the nation’s decision makers and seeing the places that make the city unique.
