Local Chapters
oikos Local Chapters are run by
highly skilled and motivated students
who energetically work to integrate
sustainability at their universities
and the local community. The teams
work independently and show how
responsibility, hands-on project
experience and fun go together.
As of May 2009, oikos had 25
Local Chapters in 17 countries on
4 continents. In 2008, the teams
organised at least 126 events,
including conferences, panel
discussions, simulation games,
seminars, surveys, lectures, movie
screenings and reading circles.
