an economy of friendship with the earth and an economy of peace.”

For too long, the economy has been shaped by relentless accumulation, exclusion, and exhaustion. But what if we stopped, rebalanced, and restored? Inspired by the Jubilee 2025 and the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures, the Economy of Francesco Global Event 2025 calls young people worldwide to rethink the economy as a space of justice, peace and care.
It is time to return what belongs to those deprived of it — the land, the fruits of labor, and the dignity of time. An economy of the future cannot be built on overwork and inequality but on the fair sharing of resources, the right to pause, and the renewal of social and environmental bonds. Let’s reclaim an economy where work serves life, where rest is not a privilege but a right, and where justice is not postponed.
Join us in shaping a new rhythm for the economy — one that values people over profits, time over haste, and justice over exploitation.
How can young economists, entrepreneurs and changemakers take the lead in this transformation?
From 28 to 30 November in Castel Gandolfo (Rome), 3 days of reflection and action with the world’s top economists and entrepreneurs, 12 thematic sessions, art workshops, spiritual moments, spaces for dialogue and discussion.
Towards the Global Event!
Organize and share your walk from the town square to places where the economy is already being rethought.
Each group will walk toward a place (a company, university, cooperative, incubator, etc.) recognized by the local community as embodying the spirit of a Jubilee-inspired economy. Each step, each meeting, each story will be mapped and added to a global counter — because the distance we walk together reflects the direction we want to move the world.
