Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung
The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung is an internationally operating, progressive non-profit institution for civic education that is close to German left party (DIE LINKE). RLS is one of the six political institutions in Germany that are all politically affiliated with, but administratively independent from distinct political parties in parliament. Through its work, the RLS promotes a critical analysis of society and sponsors networks of liberal, political, social and cultural initiatives. It is an international activist in the area of development cooperation and calls for equal dialogue between the North and the South. We provide a platform for thinking and for knowledge production and dissemination through various instruments like lectures, research, trainings, study visits, publications, and socially engaged artistic productions. The main focus of our work is the study of the relations between Europe and north Africa and how they affect societies and people. These relations are manifold and include European policies vis-a-vis North African countries, trade relations, debt policy, development aid, investment policies. We strive for international relations in the spirit of solidarity and social justice.
