The Heinrich Böll Foundation (hbf; German: ''Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung e.V.'', hbs) is a German, legally independent political foundation. Affiliated with the German Green Party, it was founded in 1997 when three predecessors merged. The foundation was named after German writer Heinrich Böll (1917–1985).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of the Green Foundations )〕 == Mission statement and structure == The Heinrich Böll Foundation is part of the global Green political movement that has developed since the 1980s. It describes itself as an agency for green visions and projects, a think tank for policy reforms, and an international network.〔http://us.boell.org/categories/who-we-are〕 In its mission statement the foundation defines its aims as follows: With the approval of the Böll family and Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (the German Green Party), the foundation carries the name of the writer Heinrich Böll. According to its mission statement, Böll personified what the foundation stands for: The courage to stand up for one's beliefs; inspiring people to meddle in public affairs; and unconditional support of human dignity and human rights.〔 Böll encouraged others to be politically active and get involved in political matters, famously stating: “Meddling is the only way to stay relevant.”〔Böll's original German statement was: "Einmischung ist die einzige Möglichkeit, realistisch zu bleiben." An English translation truer to Böll's meaning would be: 'To get involved is the only way to stay realistic' 〕 The Heinrich Böll Foundation also has a scholarship programme for university and PhD students,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Get Paid to Study in Germany: Heinrich Böll Foundation International Student Scholarships )〕 as well as a research archive with a focus on new social movements, Green politics, and a special section for political activist Petra Kelly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Right Livelihood Award - Laureates - 1982 - Petra Kelly )〕 The foundation, with headquarters in Berlin, operates 30 offices on four continents and has branches in each of Germany's 16 states. Since 2002, Ralf Fücks and Barbara Unmüßig have led the executive board; Livia Cotta is the current CEO.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Heinrich Böll Foundation - Who We Are - Organisation - Board and CEO )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heinrich Böll Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
