Es began am schönen Bodensee...

 

...als sich an einem herbstlichen Novembertag 2007 zum ersten Mal einige Studenten der ZU Friedrichshafen beim "walk and talk" zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit trafen und beschlossen gemeinsam etwas zu unternehmen.  Viel wurde beredet,  Ideen wurden ausgetauscht und Pläne geschmiedet. Kurz darauf im Dezember kam es auch schon zur Gründung von oikos Friedrichshafen, einem Local Chapter von oikos International. 

 

 

Vision, Ziele, Strategien

 

Our Vision: 

oikos is the  leading reference point for the promotion of sustainability change agents.

The international student organisation advances sustainable strategies and future responsibility in economics and management.

oikos local chapter Friedrichshafen is that unique mindset in thinking globally and acting locally.

 

Our Mission:

We strengthen action competence for sustainable development among tomorrow’s leadership generation and decision makers.
We encourage students to interdisciplinary face the sustainability challenge.
We strongly focus on bridging Economics, Culture, and Politics from a student perspective and increase awareness for sustainability opportunities and challenges.
We create institutional support for these learning processes through the integration of sustainability issues in research and teaching at faculties of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen.

We foster students' ability not only to analyse long-term economic, environmental and social trends, but to implement sustainability driven innovation.

 

Our Values:

oikos Friedrichshafen core values are to be informed, to be involved, and to make the difference in management and economics.
We always explore multiple dimensions of sustainability on corporate and social level, namely: the economic, the cultural, the interpersonal, the organizational, the civic, and the  environmental.
We do show sincerity, responsibility, audacity, ambition, and integrity to transfer a sustainable development.
We acknowledge that development should meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Who do we adress and how do we excel?

 

First and foremost we consequently and equitably adress male and female interested parties.

oikos adresses students of every faculty, lecturers of every level, professors of every institute, and moreover every citizen and expert from economics, culture, and politics. We actively integrate other student initiative in the field of management, economics, and sustainability.
