The oikos Houses are multicultural clusters of chapters that are similar in size and timezone. One can think of fellow House chapters a bit like a family or a peer group, who are guided by a House Facilitator through the Chapter Pathways. In monthly calls, the oikos Houses offer a familiar space where chapter representatives receive and share information, ideas, tools, feedback and motivation with each other. Each chapter is invited to leverage the diversity of ideas in the hivemind by bringing questions or topics that concern their everyday work!

Why Houses? You might have already found a clue in the about the name oikos! Inspired by the Greek translation of oikos as household, we see houses a metaphor for a warm community space, with a shared identity and a creative names!

Find more details & the current regions & chapters in the House Field Guide (coming soon).
