Join the Young World Federalists
& World BEYOND War Youth Network for a free webinar
on "Abolishing War through a World Federation" on
Friday, May 13 at 7pm GMT! (Use this time zone converter to find
the webinar time in your time zone.)
Wars have
existed during the last millennia in one scale or
another, but does that mean that they will always exist?
"Perpetual peace", Kant's essay, is an example of an
exercise of imagination of the prerequisites needed in
order to achieve a world without wars, but it has not
been the first nor the last one, and such efforts have
not been restrained to the theory. Indeed, a whole
movement has been developed around world federalism, as
it offers relevant and coherent proposals to achieve a
state of perpetual peace.
Young World
Federalists is one of the organizations within the
umbrella of the World Federalist Movement, and some of
their members will be offering us their perspective on
how to effectively abolish war through a World
Federation. In dialogue with the Young World
Federalists, members of World BEYOND War's Youth Network
will also weigh in on the role of youth in the war
abolition movement.

Anniela Carracedo is a Member of
the Board of Directors of World BEYOND War, a member of
the World BEYOND War Youth Network and its External
Relations Chair, and liaison between the Board and the
Youth Network. Anni was born in Venezuela in 2001, at
the beginning of one of the worst humanitarian crises in
the Western Hemisphere. Despite this difficult
situation, Anni was fortunate to grow up surrounded by
inspiring people and organizations aimed at solving
complex problems, helping their communities get
stronger, and building a culture of peace. Her family is
actively involved in the Centro Comunitario de Caracas
(Caracas Community Center), a safe place for community
groups to join forces and promote the spread of
initiatives that empower and bring citizens together.
Throughout her 5 years of high school, Anni participated
in the “Model of United Nations“, attending more than 20
conferences, the majority of which aimed at stimulating
the functioning of the UN committees for Peace, Human
Rights, and related humanitarian issues. Thanks to the
experience gained and her hard-working spirit, in 2019
Anniela was elected as General Secretary of the ninth
edition of the Model of United Nations in her high
school (SRMUN 2019). In 2018, Anni joined Interact Club
Valencia, a Rotary International youth program, where
she served as club secretary until she became a Rotary
Youth Exchange Student in 2019-2020, representing
Venezuela in Mississippi, USA. Anni served as District
Interact Representative in 2020-21, and became a
Rotarian in the same year. She got nominated honorary
member of the Rotary Club of Bay St Louis, which also
chose her as Rotarian of the Year. Looking forward, in
2021-22, Anni will be serving as Executive Chair of
Rotary Interactive Quarantine, Alumni member of Rotary
International’s inaugural Interact Advisory Council
2021-22, as well as Chair of the District 6840 Interact
Committee.
Jorge Romanillos is a 21-year-old
born in Guadalajara, a little city from Spain. He
studies a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, Politics and
Economics held in four universities between Barcelona
and Madrid, and he is currently on an Erasmus in Paris.
The reason why he decided to pursue such studies is that
he wanted to be able to give global answers to solve our
common global problems and achieve great shared
opportunities. With this idea in mind, he has been part
of many associations, such as the Scouts and Extinction
Rebellion, and he is active in political organizations
such as Young European Federalists, where he is the
president of a regional section in Spain, and Young
World Federalists, where he is part of the Board of
Directors since November 2021 and where he serves as
Co-Chair of the Organizing Committee. Next year he will
be an intern with an MEP at the European
Parliament.
RSVP to join us on May 13 to talk
about the role of youth in anti-war activism and how a
world federation can be one tool in our toolbox towards
abolishing war!
