Soliya Connect Program
About the Program
Soliya Connect Program, an Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange Program, is an international trimestriel online and on-site program that runs every Fall and Spring at the American Language Center of Tangier for developing 21st Century skills: Inter-cultural Communication, Critical Thinking and Media Literacy.
Through Soliya’s online video conferencing application, the program allows students to connect to a global community of peers and engage in facilitated dialogue. Apart from the discussion sessions, participants are required to do some reading and writing assignments that complement the online dialogue sessions. Each semester concludes with a hands-on media project in which students use stock news footage and simple video editing software to produce short news segments. Towards the end of the program, students receive a Certificate and become qualified to apply for Facilitation Program.
