The first international creative writing camp implemented by ARI Literature Foundation dates back to 2017․ The camp was implemented within a Reading Tour of International Writers Project of the University of Iowa supported by US Embassy in Armenia and took place in Armenia for Armenian and Turkish young writers. In 2018 the project was officially named Write in Armenia International Writing Camp (IWC) and an extended edition with participation of Armenian, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian and Georgian young writers was implemented once again in cooperation with the US Embassy in Armenia. The 2022 edition of Armenian Turkish program was the first online implementation of the camp in the framework of The Power of Cultural Diplomacy project.

In its 2022 online edition the camp was comprised of 12 sessions during which tutors Asli Perker from Turkey and Armen Ohanyan from Armenia, held theoretical and practical classes on writing. Additionally, three invited lecturers offered sessions։ on non-fiction writing by TEDx Armenia founder, business communication and leadership consultant Kristine Sargsyan, օն interdisciplinary relations of cinematography and literature by Artistic Director of Golden Apricot Film Festival Karen Avetisyan and a translation workshop by Director of MFA in Translation at the University of Iowa Aron Aji, Ph.D.

During the project the participants came up with their essays, poems, novellas and in the end as a result of 3-months’ study and practice a final piece was written by each of the participants. These pieces were translated into Armenian, Turkish and English and published in a final chapbook of the project.
