The call for projects for Premios Verdes 2024 will open in March 2024. The Premios Verdes promote and encourage initiatives worldwide that seek a fairer society in balance with nature. In this context, PAGE rewards the projects which are best aligned with the SDGs and strengthen partnerships.
The year 2023 marked a major milestone for professor Ramon Maje Floriano and his team. As part of Premios Verdes 2023, PAGE has attributed the SDG Award to the Huertas Comunitarias STEM project – an offshoot of the research group Cafelab Colombia led by Ramon.
Ramon Maje Floriano holds a PhD in Educational Sciences from the Universidad Cuauhtémoc in Aguascalientes, Mexico, a Master in Educational Sciences and a Bachelor in Mathematics and Physics from the Universidad de la Amazonia in Florencia Caquetá, Colombia. He is currently working as a teacher at the Municipal Montessori Educational Institution in San Francisco and lecturer at the Universidad Surcolombiana in Pitalito.
Last November 2023, the Cafelab Colombia’s proposal catapulted the Institution as the best school in the world in the environmental action category – a recognition by the T4 Education Foundation.
Committed to help his community in Colombia, Ramon Maje Floriano plays an active role in tackling the triple climate crisis and delivering sustainable actions, through education and by empowering students to protect their community and future. In this interview, this recognised pedagogue tells PAGE how his dedication and passion for teaching led him to develop impactful projects.
