Our international initiatives aim to support the change we want to see in the world by empowering and encouraging student change agents and supporting them in actively creating shifts in the way curricula are structured and developed. Our focus is on economics and management education, including multiple transdisciplinary perspectives and learning approaches. With our work, we provide fertile ground for the leaders of tomorrow to grow and learn: Our philosophy is that to support individuals in becoming sustainability leaders, education has to focus on fostering students to have "...an enhanced understanding of themselves, their abilities and desires, as well as a more profound understanding of their fellow humans and the world they inhabit. For over 30 years we have been continuously innovating with formats that provide platforms for learning, creating and sharing solutions: social labs, conferences, webinars, workshops, simulation games, learning journeys are just some examples. At oikos, we have been coming together as a global community of student change agents for over 30 years. Spread in over 20 countries and 50 cities worldwide, we organize on campus to raise awareness for sustainability and transform our own education.

We firmly believe that projects executed by community-led NGOs have the most significant impact on improving livelihoods and ensuring sustainability. NGOs operating on the ground possess the profound understanding of the challenges faced by the community and the environment. They work diligently and adopt solution-oriented approaches to tackle these issues effectively. However, a notable challenge lies in the fact that many community-based NGOs struggle to access private online donations. This is primarily due to the lack of financial and personal resources, as well as limited awareness about this valuable fundraising option. Our mission is to accelerate community-led change by empowering non-profit organizations with fundraising and supporting them with content creation for their fundraising strategies. We also provide online volunteering for NGOs, so they can focus on their impact-driven projects on the ground. We want locally operating NGOs to grow and improve their impact.
