About Mariana
An idea worth spreading
I believe that education is fundamental to building more empathetic, intelligent, and critical societies. Beyond transmitting knowledge, education has the power to shape values and foster openness to others. Within this process, I see art as a central element: it nurtures creativity, stimulates imagination, and encourages new ways of thinking. Art can act as a universal language that connects people, while also serving as a catalyst for individuals to discover and pursue their own unique interests.
The TED story
Since I was young, I followed on YouTube the ideas shared on the wonderful TED stages, and I decided I wanted to be at the forefront and be part of that change. 2025 is my first year as an organizer, and I hope many more will come.
