Viviana Veloza Martinez

I am currently pursuing a Master in Educational Policy Studies with a specialization in Comparative and International Education, as well as a Master in Latin American, Caribbean, and Iberian Studies, both at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Performing Arts and a postgraduate degree in Public Policy and Government from Colombia.

My experience ranges from managing projects for the reintegration of marginalized children and youth to promoting inclusive education. I have actively participated in the development and evaluation of processes for Comprehensive Early Childhood Care and in the training of educational agents. Additionally, I have contributed to monitoring public policies related to Childhood and Adolescence, with a particular focus on marginalized youth. Currently, I am exploring the challenges and solutions related to advocating for the educational rights of youth in the juvenile justice system in Colombia
