Heinrich Böll Stiftung
The Heinrich Böll Stiftung maintains close ties with the German Green Party (Alliance 90/Greens) and as an institute for green visions and projects, we are part of an international network that includes partner projects in around 60 countries.
Heinrich Böll's encouragement of civil society intervention in politics is a model for the foundation's work. Its primary task is political education in Germany and abroad to promote democratic will, socio-political commitment and international understanding. It is guided by the basic political values of ecology, democracy, solidarity and non-violence. The foundation is particularly interested in the realization of a democratic society as well as gender democracy.
In addition, the foundation promotes art and culture as an element of its educational political work and as an expression of social self-understanding. Promoting democracy and protecting human rights, taking action to prevent the destruction of the global ecosystem, advancing equality between women and men, ensuring peace through conflict prevention in crisis areas, and protecting the freedom of individuals against the power of excessive state and economic - these are the objectives that guide the ideas and actions of the Heinrich Böll Stiftung.

In the fall of 2021, the Foundation opened its new regional office in Tirana. The Foundation office in Tirana wants to create communities and spaces where new ideas can be discussed and developed. For this purpose, it brings together academics, activists, people of art and culture, as well as political and business actors with common interests. Our office aims to strengthen the ties between green actors in Albania and beyond, as well as to promote the engagement of civil society in the EU integration process.
