Peace education and transnational regulation in Latin America Human rights, memory and coexistence

Abstract

This article exposes the development of transnational regulation carried out by UNESCO, as an element that allowed the implementation of educational projects and policies on peace issues. Thus, from a historical perspective, and based on a documentary analysis, we saw how the discourse on youth has changed since the 1980s and elements of diversity, identity, human rights and a culture of peace have been incorporated. Concepts that, when combined with the Latin American reality, led to the implementation of policies on memory, human rights and coexistence; fundamental axes, and approaches to think about Peace education as formal education.
