Pope Francis and the Holy See are advancing the concept of a social economy—in contrast to the current market economy—through messages that focus on justice and economics, the environment, and the fostering of a culture that advances human dignity. Georgetown will gather economic, cultural, religious, and other leaders to engage across disciplines during this day-long symposium. Participants will discuss the economy's intersection with arts and culture, values, and issues of social justice.
 

This event is co-sponsored by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs; the President's Office; and the Pontifical Council for Culture.
