The Connect Program Using customized videoconferencing technologies, Soliya’s Connect Program engages young people in sustained cross-cultural dialogue through accredited university courses. Since 2003, Soliya has partnered with over 80 universities in more than 25 countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States to deliver the Connect Program.

Soliya has ambitious plans to take the Connect Program to scale by developing partnerships with university networks, English Language training centers, and local NGOs. Terana Building on the success of the Connect Program, Soliya’s best and brightest alumni are now establishing Terana, a diverse online community of young people who are using new media to capture and share diverse perspectives and foster intercultural understanding in their communities. The founding members of Terana represent a broad spectrum of political, religious, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, but share a fundamental belief that differences between people, communities, and cultures should be addressed with respect for our common humanity.

Prior to the Forum, they recorded short video interviews with people in their communities discussing key issues on the Forum agenda. At the event, they shared these videos as part of interactive presentations preceding panel discussions addressing the relevant topics. For these young people, the Rio Forum was only the beginning – through Terana they will continue to engage in outreach both online and on the ground in their communities. In the coming years, Soliya aims to reach thousands of youth worldwide through Terana. Because the program is web-based and its activities will be largely directed and implemented by participants, this initiative has almost limitless potential for expansion. In order to amplify the reach of media created by this community, Soliya has already established a media partnership with Al Jazeera and is in the process of exploring similar partnerships with other media outlets such as CNN, BBC, and Facebook.
