HBS

WELCOME

The Heinrich Böll Stiftung, associated with the German Green Party, is a legally autonomous and intellectually open political foundation.

Our foremost task is political education in Germany and abroad with the aim of promoting informed democratic opinion, socio-political commitment and mutual understanding. In addition the Heinrich Böll Foundation supports artistic and cultural as well as scholarly projects, and co-operation in the development field. The political values of ecology, democracy, gender democracy, solidarity and non-violence are our chief points of reference.

Heinrich Böll's belief in and promotion of citizen participation in politics is the model for the foundation's work.

The Heinrich Böll Foundation's most important area of activity are its projects in developmental co-operation and international policy. With 22 offices worldwide, we currently support projects in more than 60 countries on four continents.
