Prof. Martín Carbajo Núñez, OFM, will participate as a speaker in 2nd European EoF Summer School (
EoFEUSS) to be held at the University of Split (Croatia) from 18 to 25 August 2024. The general theme will be: "Distribution of wealth and integral human development: the Contribution of the Economy of Francesco (EoF)". the
first edition of this event was held the previous year in the same place.
Professor Carbajo will hold four conferences focused on the contribution of the Franciscan school to the economy and its current relevance. The four talks will be in English and each will be presented in two sessions for two different audiences. Here they are:
1) The Franciscan perspective on wealth
2) Antropological bases for an eco-economy. Listening to the cry of the earth
3) An economy that privileges relational goods: Listening to the cry of the poor
4) From Francis of Assisi to Pope Francis: Current relevance of the Franciscan perspective
The EoFEUSS offers research and dialogue-oriented lectures from distinguished experts in the field of Catholic Social Teaching (CST), social sciences, theology and economics. It is a one-week program in two modules aimed at students of economics, social sciences, law, theology and engineering, as well as postgraduate students and all interested parties.
The EoFEUSS is working through two interconnected modules:
- The first module is dedicated to environmental crisis and new economy that Pope Francis articulated through the phrase cry of the Earth in his social encyclical Laudato si' (2015). The idea is to offer young people knowledge, models and tools, based on CST, so that they can face in their professional life the cry of the Earth through the prism of the EoF.
- The second module is dedicated to the economic crisis that continuously generates social inequalities, which Pope Francis articulated with the cry of the poor and which is a part of the social-ecological crisis. The idea here is also to offer young people models and tools of social action, based on CST, but also to present in more detail alternative economic models.
All participants will attend two plenary sessions on two basic topics and can choose between one of the two mentioned modules according to their preferences. Each module may have up to 20 participants.
