Who is Mairo Tonio?

Juan Antonio Tessada Magaña (Mairo Tonio) received his bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Guadalajara (CUCSH 2003); beginning his studies he learned to undertake himself and the world that surrounds him.
“Learn to learn” recognizes that it is possible to develop a new mentality of understanding and exchange that includes material and intellectual resources. With this understanding developed “Agorá”, an urban comunity space, where through workshops and discovering new forms of sustainability, a new community space was within the city. In the education field, this is a group of thinkers in the forefront of intercultural models of education in the state of Jalisco.
Today, in CODENI, as the General Director, Tonio looks to impact other organizations on a national and international level to address the wide spread vulnerabilities and violations of human rights that affect children and adolescents that CODENI works to accompany and empower.
“Without respect of dignity and personal development one cannot aspire to a solid base of social development which we look to create through collective and community work.”
