Home for the Economy of Francesco | August 3

During the week of World Youth Day, Pope Francis being in Lisbon, Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) is set to host a transformative event, The Home for the Economy of Francesco, aimed at addressing pressing economic and ecological challenges through the lens of fraternity and solidarity.

On 3 August, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., there will be a lecture by economist Father Gael Giraud, S.J. on Integral Ecology, with Margarida Mano, Vice-Rector of Católica, as fellow speaker and Maria Villalonga, from EoF, as moderator.

There will also be the EoF Talks "Common Home: raising awareness, connecting, caring", by Sr Valéria Anrade Leal, in Room 513, from 3.30pm to 4.30pm; and "Laudato si'in motion", with John Mundell and Magdalena Noszczyk, in Room 514, from 3.30pm to 4.30pm.

In addition, EoF posters will be presented from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., showcasing projects related to EoF Global [and some portuguese initiatives as well] that embody and promote a transformative economy, one that sustains life instead of destroying it, humanizes rather than dehumanizes, and nurtures creation rather than devastating it.
