The Heinrich Böll Stiftung is the German Green Foundation, which is part of the Green movement and conducts and supports civic educational and awareness building activities worldwide. Our main tenets are ecology and sustainability, democracy and human rights, self-determination and justice. The Heinrich Böll Stiftung maintains ties to the Germany Green Party (Alliance90/The Greens), but following German laws it is a strictly separated and an independent entity. The Foundation works autonomously and in its own responsibility, nurturing a spirit of intellectual openness.
