About Us
Soliya was founded in 2003—before social media connected the world—with a bold idea: use digital tools to bridge divides.
Today, Soliya is a pioneer in Virtual Exchange bringing 15,000+ young people together each year for meaningful dialogue across difference.
We train and equip professional facilitators, up to the UN certification level, to guide these conversations.
We also support top universities and global companies in building the professional, modern skills their people need to navigate disagreements without division.
Because in a diverse world, dialogue isn’t optional. It’s essential.
Our Team
At the heart of our mission is a passionate global community of staff, facilitators, coaches, and trainers committed to creating spaces where people listen deeply, speak courageously, and connect across divides.
