The Heinrich Böll Foundation Baden-Württemberg e.V. promotes political education to develop personal judgment and the ability to act politically. It is close to the Green Movement and pursues the following priorities, all of which are based on the model of gender democracy:- The further development of democracy in the state and society with more citizen participation.- The ecological transformation of all areas of life.- The creation of social justice, the - development of global Responsibility.- The promotion of non-violent conflict resolution.- The promotion of art and culture in the context of political education. As part of these goals, the Heinrich Böll Foundation Baden-Württemberg e.V. - sometimes in close cooperation with other initiatives, associations or individuals - organizes evening events, seminars, conferences, etc.
The purpose of the foundation is to promote cooperative development cooperation. The foundation's purpose is achieved in particular by supporting suitable projects that the DGRV - German Cooperative and Raiffeisen Association - carries out worldwide in more than 30 countries in the Global South. GESTE not only supports individual projects with cooperatives, but above all supports the creation of cooperative structures and systems.
Political adult education in the liberal sense
With the foundation we would like to set an example and motivate people of all ages to share part of their small or large assets with other people in need of help. Of course, we would like the support of as many people as possible who feel the same way as us and who are willing to give part of their savings, symbolically the “tithe”, for a globally fairer world. The foundation would particularly like to support smaller development aid associations in financing their projects, whose members work with passion every day to improve the living conditions of people in need. And not just at times when we are woken up again by a catastrophe, but constantly, daily and sustainably. For this reason, we founded the Ein Tenth Foundation and gave it a name that reflects the principle of sharing.
Promoting the education and training of young people
The German Foundation for World Population: For ten years for the future of the world population. With its projects in developing countries, the DSW helps young people in particular to avoid unwanted pregnancies and to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS. In doing so, it takes advantage of the opportunities to slow down world population growth in a humane manner and at the same time makes a direct contribution to improving local living conditions.
Agapedia is the foundation founded by Jürgen Klinsmann in 1995 that sets up projects to support children in need and suffering. Agapedia's work consists of planning, organizing and implementing humanitarian projects. The aim of all measures is to directly help affected children and people in need and to support social developments through sustainable projects. Agapedia operates in Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, the Republic of Moldova and Georgia as a registered foundation with its own teams of employees on site. In Germany, Agapedia offers disadvantaged children between the ages of 6 and 12 special extracurricular care programs in the afternoons at two locations. With sports, games, creative workshops and children's circuses, the children are encouraged to recognize their potential and develop social skills. In Eastern Europe, abandoned children and orphans are supported so that they can be cared for by their families. Through support at school and training, they receive help in building an independent life. In addition, old, sick people and people in need of care are looked after in the villages.
