Paderborn's students: pioneer for sustainability and global changes!
The student project area "Oikos" at the University of Paderborn has made a name for itself in the field of sustainability since its foundation in 2009. The association recently received the price of the alumni network for "excellent commitment 2024", a sign of sustainable work that has been done in recent years. The prize has been awarded to student groups, initiatives or student councils at the University of Paderborn since 2013 and is endowed with prize money of 1,000 euros. The profit illustrates the consistent commitment of "Oikos Paderborn e. V." For sustainability issues.
"Oikos Paderborn" promotes exchange for sustainability issues and implements numerous actions and workshops to actively involve the students in the topic. The activities also include participation in the spring cleaning waste collection campaign of the waste disposal and city cleaning company ASP and commitment at the "Libofair" sustainability fair. Furthermore, the association presents its projects at events such as the "Sustainability Chillout" and the AStA Christmas market. These events should raise awareness of sustainable practices and sensitize the students to the relevance of ecological, economic and social aspects.
structure of competencies
A central goal of "Oikos" is to convey skills and values for later professional life to the students. The members of the association actively work in university working groups to integrate the topic of sustainability into teaching and to make campus life. The Paderborn chapter is part of a network that has existed since 1987 that is active at over 40 universities worldwide. The international umbrella organization "Oikos International" coordinates the activities of these university groups and promotes the exchange of ideas and best practice.
The commitment of "Oikos Paderborn" stands for the entire range of student initiatives at the University of Paderborn. These also include organizations such as Aiesec that enable students worldwide in socially relevant roles, or the Campus Consult Projektmanagement GmbH that imparts practical experience in project management. These initiatives show the constant pursuit of commitment and social responsibility within the student body.
cultural and social dimensions
The role of "Oikos" in intercultural exchange and education for sustainable development should be particularly noted. Initiatives such as Attac are fighting poverty and exploitation and promoting solidary solutions. The Leo Club Paderborn is also involved as a youth organization of the Lion Club International by giving young people the opportunity to take responsibility. These diverse efforts concenten in a common goal: the creation of a more sustainable and fairer world.students and graduates are therefore not only required as a learner, but also as an active designer of our future. The engagement in initiatives such as "Oikos" is a step in this direction. Further information about the diverse activities can be found on the website of Oikos as well as the alumni-web page .
