bECOME AN OIKOS GRAZ FRIEND

oikos Graz is a not-for-profit organization and oikees do all their work voluntary. However, for some projects we need means to pay for promotion, room reservations, speakers and their travel costs and other event-related spendings. Thanks to the great support of our partners, we were able to continue our work with high professionalism and success.

What we do

We draw attention to ecological questions and conflicts. Our projects and events create awareness and inform about sustainable alternatives to contemporary issues. Education is at the center of our work. Therefore we set impulses there, where the managers and leaders of tomorrow are made – at universities and schools. Through our events and projects such as talks, workshops, webinars, movie nights, Design Thinking Challenges and many more we shape an early understanding for the complex ecological, social, and economic challenges of the 21st century. To achieve this, we are in close contact with the University of Graz and other schools and local organizations.
