oikos International August Newsletter

Welcome to the August edition of our newsletter!

We are headed towards a busy period for the oikos Community at the end of the month with the Winter School(turned Summer) and the St. Gallen Unconference coming up. Along with another oikos-swissnex webinar and a Curriculum Action Call, it makes for a great warm up for the upcoming semester in which we'll see a Central-European Region Meeting and NexGenLead take place.

There are new position openings for those eager to join the oikos International team or work on a major international project. Finally - a new global online program we're a part of took off in August - find out how you can participate and learn from it.

The Winter School is coming back this SUMMER and it's going to be digital!

The annual event by the oikos Witten/Herdecke chapter was originally supposed to take place in March, but was postponed due to the pandemic. Designed to fit in your summer break, it will allow you to make the best of the great flexibility and interactive participation that an online oikos Winter School offers!
