Rosa Luxemburg Foundation Booklet - Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung

The central concern of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation’s international
work is to contribute to social and democratic development
and to promote socio-political education and communication together
with international partners.
With this in mind, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation funds projects
with the aim of providing people with equal access to basic social
goods such as democratic participation, peace and non-violence,
employment, education, health, social security and an environment
worth living in. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation therefore
works primarily with trade unions, women’s organisations, social
movements, research and education institutes, and international
organisations and parties.
Key themes of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation’s international
work are an international examination of current neoliberal tendencies
of globalisation, the creation of a social and peaceful Europe,
democratic and social participation at a national, regional and local
level, peace and the prevention of violence, and the full and equal
integration of disadvantaged groups.
Inspired by the ideas and concepts of democratic socialism and
united co-operation, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, which is
close to the left party, is active internationally in order to:
n protect the rights of democratic participation
n secure access to public goods and lay the foundations for a
self-determined life for all
n strengthen the networks of civil society actors and develop
alternatives to the neoliberal economic model
n solve conflicts peacefully, and shape the present and future
with historical consciousness
