History

In 2018, the International Peace Bureau Youth Network began to prepare a series of pre-conferences of youth for peace around the world, which would end in the world conference, 'Transform! Towards a Culture of Peace' in Berlin, 2019.[8] So that the Youth Network could make their conferences in Latin America with a name in Spanish, Cardona and Barrios founded the Latin American Youth Network for Peace (in Spanish: Red Latinoamericana de Jóvenes por la Paz) along with the members of the IPBYN in Latin America. The network is launched in the first pre-conference of the IPBYN, on April 25, 2018 in Medellin, Colombia, during the '2nd International Congress of Science and Education for development and peace' at the University of Antioquia.[9] Then, the Latin American Youth Network for Peace, carried out the second pre-conference, on July 3, 2018, in the Senate of the Argentine Nation, during the international conference 'Let's Talk about Peace'.[10] The Latin American Network held its third pre-conference, on October 9, 2018, this time at the Tecnologico de Monterrey campus in Mexico City.[11] In 2020, the members of the IPBYN in Latin America decided to change their name to Ibero-American Alliance for Peace.[1]
