Founding an oikos group

Founding an oikos group has a lot in common with starting a company. So actually, you can be a bit proud of yourself. You are just about to become an entrepreneur!

The oikos International Team is happy to guide you through the process of founding an oikos group that in the end will be eligible to become an official oikos Local Chapter.

"It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of oikos network worldwide, after a year of accession. Sustainability here in this part of the world (south asia) is totally a different idiom. These developing nations, unlike most of the member nations of oikos network coming from western world, defines sustainability and its components in a totally dissimilar fashion. Poverty, economical well being and other related factors being the major goal, gives this concept of sustainability a whole new look. Being part of oikos empowers students and peers to have a more wider view towards the horizon."

"It is not only worth taking administrative hurdles, but its moreover fun to work for oikos. Though purely voluntary, working with oikos goals enables us to get in contact with big names in academia, corporate and social sectors. Moreover it makes us feel even more delighted when we pull off a oikos event with success, and its far beyond explanation. And most importantly it makes us feel even better when we think that we are at least trying to take some humble steps towards a better future."

"oikos International, to me, is a perfect role model for any umbrella organization serving as they are. Help and support are always just around the corner. I hope oikos International continues providing its support as they are doing now, and thus bring in many new local chapters from every corner of the globe."
