Welcome

We are proud to announce that – as of October 1, 2009 – Soliya has merged with the UN–established Alliance of Civilizations Media Fund. Our mission remains the same but our resources, networks, and capacity to achieve it have received a major boost. Added to our years of on-the-ground experience using new media technologies to foster cross-cultural understanding and the thousands of young alumni and volunteers who give life to our programs in 25 countries, we now have:

• A partnership with the United Nations,
• Augmented leadership reflected both on our Board and our Executive Team,
• A unique research-and-evaluation partnership with the Saxe Neuroscience Lab at MIT; and
• An ambitious plan to leverage our increased capacity to expand our university-based Connect Program and to launch a new and dynamic on-line network.
• A published research report exploring media’s impact on intergroup relations

To our long-time supporters: thank you for making this possible – we couldn’t be more excited.

And for those who are new to Soliya, you picked a great time to discover us!
