OUR VISION
Our community of student change agents works towards transforming management & economics education together with 48 chapters in over 20 countries worldwide and with over 1000 active oikees every year.
Our international programs aim to support the change we want to see in the world by empowering and encouraging student change agents in their development and actively creating shifts in the way curricula are structured and developed. Our focus is on economics and management education, including multiple transdisciplinary perspectives and learning approaches. This links back to our central question on how we want to learn, lead and live together.
Learn more about our History.
Our strategic efforts are guided by our values, a sense of purpose and a strategic vision and
mission - giving us
direction for the future of our organization.
Whereas values are key to how we want to relate with the world and each other (our ethics), our
purpose is the WHY behind what we do and how we do it.
Meet the team
Being a student-driven and student-led organization, the oikos board holds an important role in stewarding and role-modelling the values and ambitions of oikos.
The main role of the board is to listen attentively - to what is going on in the
community, in the world around us and in the team itself, and from there, to act and
respond in their granular roles and functions within the oI team.
The board is elected every year and hosts 7 student volunteers and two presidents (paid
employees).
Meet the team
This is the name for all of our employees, from all the different fields.
Management team members have different roles and responsibilities.
Some of them are more involved in operational/administrative activities, others work for
specific programmes and events hosted by oikos International.
Our volunteer working groups work on oikos international matters and are facilitated by
one of the board members.
Their form and ways of working are agreed upon as the group gathers around the field of
work. In several cases, individual volunteers join a certain sub-team or take a specific
role without being a member of a working group.
"The oikos Asia Meet was my first event with oikos. There was not a minute in the three days that I felt bored or out of place. The workshop and field trip were extraordinary and very educating. To summarize in one sentence, I attended the Asia Meet as a guest and on the third day I walked out of the venue wanting to be a member of oikos."
