When: June 21 – July 5, 2014
Where: University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa
What: Between the Lines (BTL) is a two-week program for young Russian and American students who are interested in creative writing, either as a pastime or as a career. It is a cultural exchange program which is now in its third year of programming. The State Department Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (Cultural Programs Division) in partnership with the University of Iowa will offer the opportunity for them to grow as writers and participate in a conversation about and exploration of creative writing and literature.
The program will host 10 writers aged 16-19 from Russia for a residency at the University of Iowa. The activities will include writing workshops both in English and Russian, seminars on literary topics, cultural visits, and other local events. The young writers will be immersed in the premier creative writing culture in the United State as part of an exchange that will broaden and sharpen their writing skills, deepen their understanding of American society, build bridges with young American writers who will participate in creative language classes alongside the ECA-sponsored writers from Russia. At the culmination of the on-site program, students’ writings in both English and Russian will be collected into a printed booklet to be used for educational purposes.
Russian participants will travel to and from the United States with a Russian teacher who will accompany the students as a chaperone. The chaperone will have the chance to enrich his/her teaching and writing skills during his/her time in the United States and will participate fully in the cultural exchange.
The BTL Program will cover costs for this cultural and creative exchange, including international travel and food and lodging in the United States, and will provide coverage of other expenses associated with the students’/chaperone’s cultural exchange in the United States. Lodging in Moscow and in-country travel across Russia in preparation for the trip are generally not covered by the program, but limited funding may be available to needy participants on a case-by-case basis.
Who: The BTL Program is looking for talented, curious, enthusiastic young writers of fiction and/or poetry who meet the following criteria:
Requirements for chaperone applicants who will accompany the participants:

It may also be an active person involved in the local youth community in some way that fosters creative writing, who is interested in Russian literature and in teaching creative writing to young people.
