MONDIACULT Side Event: Culture and Education as a Key Tool for a World in Crisis

Adriana Sandoval Trujillo holds a Master’s degree in Digital Anthropology from University College London (UCL) and a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from Concordia University in Montreal. She also completed a research semester at the Communication University of China, where she studied communication in cultural contexts. These experiences have provided her with a strong foundation in exploring the impact of technology on cultural dynamics, at the intersection of popular cultures, Colombian heritage, society, and international affairs. She served as Cultural Attaché at the Embassy of Colombia in the United Kingdom, where she played a key role in shaping public diplomacy initiatives, fostering cultural connections, and strengthening bilateral ties between Colombia and the UK. With her strategic vision, Adriana has successfully built cultural bridges, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of the role of culture in transforming Colombia’s engagement with the world through its arts, knowledge, and diverse traditions.
