“The community of oikees has provided me with infinite inspiration and energy since I joined oikos. I am still very excited to be involved in the organization as an Alumnus since the values that drive us at oikos should not be forgotten once we embrace a career. Sharing the knowledge and passion is important to me, and I would be happy to mentor the new generations of oikees.“

“Many of the experiences I had through oikos have helped me along the way and continue to do so. I often feel that might be the biggest strength of oikos: It invites young people in, helps them to deepen their interests and allows them to experience that, with a strong community to support you, there are ways to make a difference.“

A LEAP for a new era of leadership
Our leadership initiatives equip students & their allies with what they need to facilitate change in their local environment. LEAP equips participants with knowledge, tools, capacities, and the mindset to become conscious, collaborative leaders who move society towards sustainability and the well-being of people and planet.
Change happens where we are – in our universities
To support youth in becoming sustainability leaders, education has to enable students to have a better understanding of themselves, their fellow humans and the world. The curriculum as a tangible structure is a good place to start removing obstacles and designing more human-centred, sustainable spaces.
Together we get
further
Our community makes us stronger! Together with youth from across the globe, we foster a vivid, intercultural support network. Learn more about the spaces where we host each other & how we accompany the journeys of our local groups, the oikos Chapters.
