It's Time for change!
our Projects
Throughout the year oikos Graz is engaged in various projects to introduce the matter of sustainable economics and responsible management into the university. The goal is to encourage future leaders of any field to think and act sustainably.
One of oikos’ main goals is to integrate sustainability into universities’ curricula. The complexity of the current challenges our economy and world is dealing with can not be solved by a hand full of disciplines. What we need is collaboration, interdisciplinary approaches, and responsible leadership. With Transforming Education we set the focus where future leaders and managers are created – at Universities – and address one of the main contributors to positive change – education.
Check out our Curriculum Change campaign to better understand what curriculum change is and get to know our curriculum projects.
Every fall oikos Graz, books4life, KHG and many other local #changemakers host the annual ReThink Festival in Graz. The festival goes over 5 days and offers a colorful program starting with workshops and cooking sessions to movie-streaming nights. As the title already suggests, it is all about the “RE” – reuse, reduce, & repair. It is a great chance to have fun while learning new skills, discover creative DIYs, and meet interesting people!
What is cooking in the world of sustainability? What do you want to talk about? Or, what do we not talk enough about? Whatever it is, we cover it!
Our oikos Talks team is curious, creative, & critical. In a setting of panel discussions, online talks, pop up talks or poetry slams we make sure that your questions are answered & that the complicated language of sustainability is translated in everyone’s language. We bring together experts with inquisitive people who want to broaden their horizons. Our team reaches out for experts from the academical, economical, civil and political field. With that we are trying to ensure a holistic view and a suspenseful basis on different aspects of sustainability, economy, and businesses.
In 2022 we had the pleasure to host the annual International Chapter Conference in Graz and celebrate our 20th anniversary. The ICC is an annual meeting of all oikos chapters. The host chapter organizes different workshops, discussions and excursions for their guests. Besides the learning aspect, we provide a space to re-connect with the international network, exchange knowledge, and reinforce the team spirit.

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.
