Catch up with the oikos Community!

Welcome to the October edition of our newsletter!

Last month was one of the most eventful ones this year, with the oikos Community gathering two times - first virtually to elect the new oikos International Board at the Legislative Meeting and then at the oikos Conference in St. Gallen. At the conference, we officially launched oiKosmos, the new oikos Community platform. This month we also successfully completed the Global Giving Accelerator, with our first crowdfunding program of such scale.

There is an open opportunity to join the oikos Team as we're looking for a volunteer oiCases Program Manager. In October, J. Christopher and Stephen from the oikos International team shared their thoughts in interesting interviews about sustainable economics and finance, respectively. As 2022 draws closer, you can already join the Positive Impact Rating's next year edition. Finally, if you're looking for online events to join this months, a LEAP Alumni webinar or a virtual conference by our friends from the Instituto NOW may draw you attention.
