Responding to the very positive feedback from both international students, academia, the business world and leading NGOs, oikos decided to conduct its 4th oikos Winter School from 18-24 November 2007 at the University of Witten/Herdecke, Germany.
This training session aimed to educate multiplicators for the concept sustainability and agents for change towards an improved integration of sustainability in higher education.
"The oikos Winter School was fabulous, I learned so much I'm still processing everything two weeks later! I was so incredibly impressed by the level of organization and commitment of the students hosting the school. My favourite take home learning was discovering the tremendous power of institutional investors and how one could create significant change by facilitating the adoption of ethical investment practices among institutions - a promising lever. I also met some fantastic people, namely my oikos Winter School fellow classmates, the speakers and workshop presenters."

Thanks again for your effort in putting up this year's Winter School!"
