International Conferences
Funded through a grant from the US Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, IWP's international conferences were designed to bring together international and American writers into direct conversations around a pressing theme or idea. They resulted in collections of topical essays, and in half-hour films documenting each gathering.
The New Symposium (2006-2008)
convened writers, artists, and thinkers from America, Greece, and around the world to the island of Paros to focus intensely on a common theme. Co-sponsored by the Fulbright Foundation in Greece, EKEMEL (European Translation Center) and the Office of the Mayor of Paros.
Souk Ukaz: A Market of Ideas (2009-2010)
brought together a group of international and American writers to Maghreb and neighboring regions of the Mediterranean to study and witness first hand the conflicting facts of urban life. Based in Fes (Morocco).
