Join us to observe the power and promise of deliberative gatherings.
Here at Close Up, we know that the experience of NextGen Roundtable: Decision 2026 will have profound effects on our student participants. But this event can also serve as an inspiring example for observers—of how capable young Americans are of engaging in civil discourse and of the vast potential for fostering deliberative dialogue in communities and on campuses nationwide.
Whether you’re an educator or simply interested in learning more about deliberative democracy, please consider joining us as an observer at NextGen Roundtable: Decision 2026.
