Between the Lines updates (international writing program)
Scavenger hunt is an
American game in which organizers prepare a list of tasks and participants in
teams have to complete them first. In Iowa, where every second person in the street
is a writer, the scavenger hunt is literary, so students were to solve literary
tasks. Example 1: write 1 sentence about the end of the world. Write 2
sentences about how to save the world. Example 2: write 3 sentences about
people you see in the street. Example 3: find out who was a Slavic writer in
Iowa. Example 4: in the bookshop, find a book, a quote that characterizes you,
explain why.
During the hunt I had a group dinner with Summer
Writing Festival program at Old Bricks Events center. Mosaic windows arched to
the ceiling, drew in the rays of sun exploring the first Presbyterian church.
Built in 1836, now it combines charity food program ‘Table to Table’ and events
center. Computer cabled to speakers, tables and chairs in a spacious hall, bread
pudding for dessert, wine bar in the back room and note ‘Tips are absolutely
legal’. Yes, it’s all in the former church. I could easily imagine it’s
absolutely proper to conduct Sunday services here on. American style
