Soliya

Soliya, Inc. is an international nonprofit organization, headquartered in New York City. Our mission is to prepare rising generations to approach differences constructively and lead with empathy, in order to thrive in an interconnected world. We combine the power of interactive technology and the science of dialogue to offer proven cross-cultural exchange and learning opportunities. Soliya 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.

The world is rapidly evolving and the need to continually learn and adapt to new dynamics has become critical. Soliya’s Learning and Development Solutions offers a range of training and learning opportunities that address the growing challenges, be in the workplace, in schools or in the community, in constructively coping with our differences. Increasingly communities are divided and siloed which hinders our overall growth and prosperity. Soliya is at the forefront of building solutions that tackle these challenges and equipping individuals with the skills and tools to create healthy and inclusive spaces, and to transform conflicts into opportunities for collaboration.

We are funded by foundations, governments, and individuals and partner with social scientists to evaluate our impact.
