A global journey towards an economy that
liberates, restores, and gives space to breathe

Throughout history, pilgrimages have opened new paths.
They have brought people together. They have reawakened essential questions.

From April to November 2025, in preparation for the Jubilee and the Global Event Restarting the Economy, young people from all over the world will begin to walk.

They will do so together, even if starting from different places.

They will walk short distances that carry great meaning: from the squares of their cities to the places where a new economy is already taking shape.

Universities, businesses, associations, cooperatives, incubators, communities.

Living spaces where rest is respected, people are free, and new balances between life and work are built.
These are the milestones along this global pilgrimage.
These are the signs that the economy can still serve life.

The Jubilee as a Compass

This journey draws inspiration from the biblical Jubilee — a time of justice, return, and restoration.

Three ancient signs guide us:

  • Rest for the land – to remember that the Earth is not ours to exploit but to care for.
  • Freedom for the enslaved – because work must never mean bondage.
  • Debt forgiveness – because justice requires the courage to stop accumulation and start anew.

All of this is not just symbolic — it is real.

Each group will walk a local route and log the distance traveled in a global counter.

In November, we will show how far we’ve walked to bring the common good back to the heart of the economy.

How to Participate

Would you like to activate this journey in your city?
Here’s how the format works — simple yet powerful:

1. Start with a personal commitment

Before walking, each participant takes on a personal commitment rooted in biblical economic values by choosing a concrete action, such as:

  • Switching to an ethical bank (get inspired by visiting the MONEY FOR PEACE initiative page)
  • Practicing conscious consumption
  • Reducing waste
  • Sharing resources
  • Reclaiming rest and slowness

Change begins with our bodies, our time, our daily lives.

2. Walk from the square to a place of Jubilee-inspired Economy

Start from the main public square of your town or neighborhood and walk together to a local initiative recognized by the community as a place of Jubilee Economy — this could be a business, a university course, a cooperative, an association, or a community.

Measure the distance: every meter counts.

3. Meet, listen, and build alliances

Upon arrival, engage in an authentic dialogue with the people behind that initiative.

Ask questions, share ideas, find common ground.

4. Share your journey

Using the form below, share your experience.

Each walk will be included in the Global Map of the Jubilee Economy — a story built from the ground up, one community at a time.
