Introducing Connect Bel3araby - Soliya’s newest virtual exchange initiative!

We are excited to announce our newest virtual exchange initiative: Connect Bel3araby, a suite of dialogue and training programs designed to bring together young people across the MENA region to foster deeper cross-cultural understanding and regional cooperation, develop critical 21st-century skills, and build a stronger vision for the future of their communities, the region, and the world.

Connect Bel3araby is an Arabic language virtual exchange program that will enable youth across the Middle East and North Africa to connect meaningfully with their peers in the region, collaboratively explore the relationships between their communities, and build key global competencies and skills such as cross-cultural communication, critical thinking, leadership, empathy, teamwork and collaborative problem-solving.

We have been working on adapting our global curricula and program models to the regional context, and in the coming months, we are excited to launch the new dialogue and training programs that will enable college-aged youth and young professionals in the MENA region to engage in high impact virtual exchange experiences in Arabic and hone their skills as leaders in their communities.

Through this exciting initiative, there will be new opportunities to engage with us through training and dialogue. Further information on that coming soon!
