The following categories are used:

The Economy of Francesco community includes people of all ages — and we are deeply grateful for the presence, dedication, and contributions of those over 40. Many have walked with us since the beginning; others have joined along the way, offering experience, support, and attentive listening to younger participants. However, this initiative was born in response to Pope Francis’ call addressed specifically to young people under 40. Their participation — especially for those facing economic barriers — remains a priority. For this reason, we ask participants over 40 to contribute an additional fee. This helps us allocate more support to younger changemakers and ensure a fairer, more inclusive experience for all.

Full Event Pass | OVER 40

340€

—

The differentiation of the fee corresponds to the spirit of support and solidarity that runs transversal to EoF and is one of the pillars of our Community, we understand that there are many factors that impact the possible participation in the event. If you believe your economic situation warrants a different fee tier, please send an email to: [email protected] — we will consider individual cases with care.

The fees include accommodation, meals, and participation in all activities throughout the 3-day event — from lunch on November 28 to lunch on November 30.

Please note:

  • No reductions will be applied if participants choose not to use all the accommodation or meals provided.
  • If you need a grant to participate in the event, please visit the PARTICIPATION GRANTS page. In case you are awarded a grant, you will be able to register on this page and will be asked to enter your GRANT CODE before proceeding with payment.

All participants are encouraged to fully experience the event as designed by the organizers — including accommodation and meals — in order to also take part in informal and convivial moments, which are an essential part of the gathering beyond the official program.

Accommodation is organized by the organizing team and will be provided in double or shared rooms in facilities close to the event venue. Transportation between accommodation sites and the event location will be arranged and guaranteed by the organization.
