GEM School 2025
Ecumenical School on Governance, Economics and Management for an Economy of Life
LWF partners with the World Council of Churches, the World Communion of Reformed Churches, the World Methodist Council and the Council for World Mission to organize this two-week training in advocacy for economic and environmental justice.
Participants will learn about the intersection between theology and economics, the fourth industrial revolution and how to develop advocacy tools for fairer global financial systems.
The annual training program forms part of an ecumenical initiative known as the New International Financial and Economic Architecture or NIFEA. It brings together ordained and lay people with a passion for shaping more just, caring and sustainable societies.
