The Economy of Francesco 2022 International Event

Description of our collaboration proposal

The Economy of Francesco will hold the third edition of its international event next September. In it, young people specialised in economics and entrepreneurship will meet in the birthplace of Saint Francis of Assisi to discuss the future of the economy based on the values promoted by the Church.

The Economy of Francis is an organisation born in 2019 as a result of a letter from Pope Francis in which he encourages young economists to commit to a different way of approaching economic activity and to become agents of change. Since then, seminars and panels have been held, and twelve villages have been created as meeting points for those interested in forming part of this organisation.

This event seeks the collaboration of young people to achieve methods to develop a sustainable and inclusive economy, in a process led and developed by people under 35 who have new ideas to change the world.

The event will be held in Assisi (Italy) from 22 to 24 September 2022. To participate, it is necessary to be a member of The Economy of Francesco, for which it is necessary to be under 35 years old and have a degree in economics, be an entrepreneur, have a business or promote activities that seek an inclusive economy.
