what is oikos Academy?

The oikos Academy is a dynamic six-month program designed as:

– A transformative change lab where students from oikos chapters collaboratively develop innovative solutions to tackle sustainability challenges in higher education.

– An interactive hybrid event that takes place in the Fall, providing a platform for learning and knowledge-sharing in areas such as leadership, change management, sustainability practices and new economic paradigms.

– An initiative offering personalized coaching to registered oikos chapters, aimed at supporting their sustainability projects within their respective universities.”

Why is oikos Academy needed?

Our current educational system is at a crossroads, to transform it into a driving force for a more sustainable future. The complexities of sustainability challenges demand a shift away from traditional mono-disciplinary approaches. Higher education plays a critical role in preparing the next generation of leaders shaping our society and economy. Students need to be prepared for the challenges of the 21st century, and to achieve that goal, they need to be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to drive positive change and advance sustainability. As we all know, nothing worth creating is built in a vacuum,so collaboration and co-creation among faculty, research and students is required to navigate through the complexity of the existing frameworks, find actionable solutions, and take the entire learning process to the next level.

Taking a look back, our experience was a mixture of challenges and victories. The greatest lesson learnt was that the Academy wasn’t just about having brilliant ideas; but also about working to bring them to life, moving from the drawing board to making things happen.

The Academy sessions were nothing short of enlightening. The rich content, the fresh perspectives, and the new notions introduced to us have expanded our horizons. We’ve not just learned; we’ve evolved.
[…]
We appreciate the enriching sessions, the insightful coaching received, and the collective journey towards fostering growth and sustainability. Here’s to a shared commitment to learning, growing, and transforming together.

The academy was a unique learning opportunity for me, and I’m grateful that oikos Graz could contribute to it by hosting an interactive talk on integrating sustainability into higher education. I had never been part of the core organising team of an event like this before, but with the support and guidance from oikos International and LEAP researcher Katharina Roche, we were able to make it a reality.

It was a beautiful way to bring together a world of diverse perspectives on sustainability! Amazing what a bunch of motivated students can create out of thin air inspirational event to make students feel they are worth sharing their ideas A great opportunity that students, university staff and representatives have a connection with each other and amazing to see the work of other chapters and the creation as a whole

Academy has been an opportunity for PhD students to work together on their papers in fields related to sustainability. They were meeting for a whole week, usually in Switzerland, together with 3 faculty members of renowned universities. The PhD students (usually a diverse field through scholarships for students from developing countries) proceeded with their work and gave presentations to receive feedback from the other students and the faculty members. One participant had the opportunity to get a scholarship for further research. The oikos Academy was hosted by the oikos Foundation and The Graduate Institute Geneva.
