WELCOME TO FES NAMIBIA
The
Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) was founded in 1925 to honour the political
legacy of Germanys first democratically elected president, Friedrich Ebert.
Ebert,
a social democrat, proposed the establishment of a political foundation in
response to his own experience: His rise from humble beginnings as an artisan
to the highest political office bearer in his country had at times been painful
and full of confrontation. His idea was that the foundation should aim:
TO FURTHER political and social education of
individuals from all walks of life in the spirit of democracy and pluralism,
TO FACILITATE the
access of gifted young people to university education and research through
scholarships and
TO CONTRIBUTE to international understanding and
cooperation.
The
Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung was banned by the Nazis in 1933 and re-established in
1947. Presently it continues to pursue Ebert’s original goals through various
activities.
As
a private, cultural non-profit institution, it is committed to the ideas and
basic values of social democracy.
