The New Education Fellowship (NEF) is a subject matter widely examined by historiography of education, considering its conferences, as presented by Brehony in his best-known article, or related to educators and networks established in different countries, as addressed by Middleton, Haenggeli-Jenni, Watras, and others. However, this historiography is markedly limited to Europe, with some advances into Oceania and North America. With the aim of filling a gap in regard to the processes of establishment of networks between the NEF and South America, we intend to draw up a historical panorama of the initial years of creation of the NEF, from 1920-1930, taking the conference that occurred in Locarno, Switzerland, in 1927 as the inflection point. To review these networks in South America, the main sources are correspondence exchanged by South American educators, reports of conferences, and the journals The New Era and Pour l’Ére Nouvelle.
