PASHA Bank Sponsors Oikos Summer School

PASHA Bank is co-funding the Oikos Summer School which will take place at Tbilisi State University through 1-5 September. Oikos is an international student-driven organization for sustainability in economics and management founded in Switzerland in 1987.

The major topic of discussion will be “Education for a Better World.” Among the attendees will be 30 local and international participants as well as specially invited professors and facilitators.

The five-day project aims at bringing students and professors together to learn new methods and approaches to management. Over the course of the Summer School, participants will have the opportunity to explore their own leadership skills, look at how to develop them and contribute to the common good of society. The teachings will focus on the following: planet care, collaboration between the nations, creating customer-oriented organizations, employee welfare, etc.

This year Tbilisi State University is hosting Oikos Summer School for the third year in a row.

“PASHA Bank regularly supports projects aimed at educational and professional development in the country. Oikos Summer School is focused on trending topics and we believe these meetings will affect the participants’ knowledge and experience in the most positive way,” said Anano Korkia, Head of PR and Marketing at PASHA Bank.

“Education is one of our core topics. Oikos organizes more than 500 projects in more than 30 countries annually. The topic of the Summer School is currently very popular worldwide and particularly important for our region. Today's students are our future leaders, so it is essential to prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow. We couldn’t do what we do without our donors and partners. We would like to say a special thanks to PASHA Bank for its tremendous support in terms of funding, ideas and outreach,” said Ani Lomouri, Director of Summer School 2016.
