Another Great Opportunity for Teen Poets : Diversity Writing Program in Iowa
Click through to read about the great program at the University of Iowa for teen writers. There's a great video and a student testimonial from Bahrain (Jacob, BTL '12).
This year there will be two sessions and information about applying is here.
"Since 2008, Between the Lines (BTL) has hosted young writers, aged 16-19, at the University of Iowa for a cultural exchange program that focuses on the art and craft of creative writing. Participants come together for an intensive two-week session, living in campus dorms, and spending their days in creative writing workshops and global literature seminars designed to foster a love of world literatures. While the literature classes are taught in English, the workshops are conducted in the student’s native language—be it Russian, Arabic, English, Turkish, or Armenian. Evenings and weekends are spent on assorted adventures—attending literary and cultural events in Iowa City and nearby towns, touring the caves at Maquoketa Caves State Park, and exploring each other’s cultures through events such as Arabic and Russian 101, Translation a Go-Go, and the BTL Cinematheque. Each session is led by a faculty of prize-winning poets and writers from the U.S. and abroad, who are also experienced creative writing teachers."
Students can apply or get connected through Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
