Soliya is an international nonprofit organization, based in New York City, with a mission to use technology to empower young adults to engage with their differences constructively and promote understanding and empathy among their societies. We have pioneered the field of virtual exchange — defined as technology-enabled, sustained people-to-people dialogue and education — as a distinct medium of equipping rising generations with the empathy, employability, and leadership skills to thrive in the 21st Century world and workforce. Our two core program areas are Dialogue Exchange, whereby we engage college-aged youth across North America, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia in multilateral conversations on social and global topics; and Facilitation Training, whereby we train individuals to moderate meaningful and mutually beneficial dialogue exchange. Since 2002, we have connected 10,000 students across 30 countries and 29 US states, and trained 2,000 cross-cultural facilitators spanning 94 nationalities. We are funded by foundations, governments, and individuals and partner with social scientists to evaluate our impact. For more information, visit www.soliya.net.
