Personal and cross-generational connections keep the community and oikos spirit alive and passed on to future generations of oikees. There’s always something to exchange & celebrate when oikees come together!
oiConnects are local pop-up-events open to the whole community that can be hosted wherever oikees (both active & alumni) are based. The idea is to enable the community to self-organize. oiConnects can easily take place anywhere where the oikos community wants to come together. They can take different shapes and sizes, depending on the needs and preferences of the hosts and participants. An oiConnect can be everything from casual drinks in a bar to a more extensive networking event. Check out the upcoming oiConnects in your surroundings, host one yourself or read more about the stories from past events oikos is more than 30 years old and ever evolving and growing.
By giving community meetings a name and platform, we hope to encourage more local connection-making that are communicated about and open to any oikee to join.

Nevertheless, there are some useful considerations & steps in the preparation of any oiConnect.
