Innovation projects currently being nurtured.
Three projects have been nurtured since October 2024, into actionable prototypes of innovation in creating ecologies of collaboration—living networks of solidarity between faith-driven and justice-oriented initiatives.
We need volunteers—designers, educators, bakers, nurses, listeners, organizers—anyone ready to bring hope to life.
Let’s build faith, justice, and collaboration—together.

Our host city offers culture, plurality, and rich legacies.
Welcome to Recife (founded in 1517)—a city where rivers, bridges, and ocean meet centuries of history.
From colonial streets and Afro-Brazilian rhythms to vibrant street art, Recife is a living mosaic of cultures—Indigenous, African, Jewish, European—all woven into one dynamic heartbeat.
One of the oldest capitals of Brazil, it houses the oldest synagogue of the Americas.
This is more than a destination—it’s an encounter.
