The 12 “EoF Villages” represent the working sessions of the participants on key topics of the economy of today and tomorrow. This is the place of crossroads and paths, dialogue and confrontation, questions and perspectives, reflections and proposals.
The EoF BOARD is the team that coordinates the activities promoted by the organizing committee, the scientific committee and that supports the work of the Villages and territorial initiatives. Here you will find the main proposals, open to our community but also to all those souls who feel close to the spirit of EoF.
What’s going on locally, what was born from the meetings and after the November event, particular stories of a territory, perspectives, requests, best practices, projects, work-in-progress initiatives, shared paths and local proposals for today & tomorrow’s new economy.
Living The Economy of Francesco events are proposals inspired by The Economy of Francesco life. These are initiatives organized at the regional or local level (in presence or online) in the form of workshops, laboratories, study seminars, conferences, round tables, calls for action and much more.
