oiKosmos - Where oikees meet

The purpose of the oiKosmos, our virtual community infrastructure, is to keep the community connected and updated, both concerning oikos International and themselves, so that our impact can thrive in and through relationships. It is about creating access to opportunities and giving way for both formal and informal conversation between the members of the network.

The oiKosmos consists of our public oiKosmos guide, a Miro board (Provides an overview & access to all oiKosmos elements, guidelines and relevant contacts, additionally to the newest information about oikos International and other opportunities, fun to navigate and accessible), a community Discord server (Gives oikos members and friends a chance to interact outside of programs and events, creates a space for exchange, meet and work online - also allows for private servers for chapters not managed by oikos International, chapter space template available), and the oikos Toolbox (all essential documents, guides, forms & marketing material for the daily life in the oikos community and oikos Chapters). The oiKosmos is maintained by the IT Manager and the Community Support/oiKosmos facilitator.

Let’s meet for an oiCoffee!

Who said we cannot have coffee breaks online? oiCoffee is a simple way for oikees to connect with other oikees and friends of oikos from all over the world. On a regular basis, oiKosmos Discord server members can decide to sign up in the dedicated #oikoffee-signup channel. A Discord bot will then pair them up with another oikee through a DM, encouraging them to meet for a virtual coffee over video chat with an icebreaker. ☕
