Tunis
The Foundation's work abroad began with the opening of an office in Tunisia in 1964. About 50 years later, in 2011, a new phase started for the Foundation in the context of the Tunisian revolution. In addition to the long-established areas of work (e.g. journalist training, economic policy), we are devoted to the promotion of liberal principles and to political education. The goal of the foundation is to advance the principles of human rights, rule of law, freedom of press and democracy.
We celebrate Freedom with innovative tools !
