Programs

Whether you’re looking to connect, level up, or master the art of hard conversations, our programs turn dialogue into impact.

Connect

Step out of the comment section and into real conversations with global peers through one of our dialogue programs.

The Connect Program partners with universities and youth organizations around the world to give thousands of global students each semester a rare space to connect and talk honestly across divides — about identity, conflict, and what it really means to live and lead in today’s world.

The result? A unique, classroom-integrated experience backed by decades of research and implementation.

Participants: University students and members of youth organizations.

Length: 4, 5, 8 weeks

Global Circles is a pro-facilitated, accelerated dialogue where your voice matters on the global issues sparking debate and shaping our societies. Each Circle brings together hundreds of participants, dispatched into small groups to reflect a multiplicity of backgrounds, geographies, identities, and worldviews.

It's your opportunity to explore urgent, often sensitive global topics with others who may not think like you.

Participants: Everyone 18 or older is welcome.

Length: 2 weeks

  • “One of my students shared that the experience with Soliya made a significant impact on their cross-cultural understanding, something that ‘couldn’t be taught in class.’ They emphasized that such understanding had to be gained through experience, over time, and through a program like Soliya.”

  • "One memorable moment was when a usually quiet student expressed how eye-opening it was to hear directly from peers in different cultural contexts. The Connect Program boosted their confidence and sparked a noticeable improvement in their communication and critical thinking skills during class discussions."

  • "The real-time dialogue sessions helped me learn the most because I got to hear from people with different backgrounds and experiences. Talking and listening to others in real time helped me understand new ideas and see things from different points of view. It made the learning more interesting and helped me think in a deeper way."

  • "The program, the facilitator's empowerment, the tech support, the follow-up, and the assessment make Soliya a great organization to be related to. I plan to continue making these connections because the world needs them more than ever."
