International Writing Program Summer Institute for participants from Pakistan, India, and the U.S

The Summer Institute is a new immersive two-week creative writing and cultural exchange program held in Iowa City, Iowa, a UNESCO City of Literature, for participants age 18-22 from Pakistan, India, and the U.S. This program for students of all academic interests - the arts, humanities, sciences, and everything in between - is free for selected participants, and will focus on creative writing and the power of narrative. The Summer Institute's innovative, inclusive, cross-cultural approach will empower future thought-leaders and help forge new lines of understanding, promote social justice, and foreground diversity, empathy, and community. Participants will come to see writing as a form of action - a personally-empowering skill that can be employed for social change.
