We deeply mourn the loss of our esteemed colleague Dr Antonie Katharina Nord, who passed away on 18 May 2025 after a long illness. In various roles, most recently as head of the international division, Antonie shaped the work of the Heinrich Böll Foundation like few others.

The Heinrich Böll Foundation’s Thessaloniki Office is pleased to announce the first iteration of our Green Foreign Policy Fellowship, aiming to support scholars, practitioners and experts from across the world in galvanizing critical discussions, developing convincing alternatives to the dominant but deadlocked approach of realism in international affairs, through data collection and analysis, guided by diplomatic practice, critical theory, and international relations theory.

The Heinrich Böll Stiftung Co-President, Jan Philipp Albrecht visited Greece last week (3-7 Sept. 2024), ten years after his last visit as an MEP back in 2014. Through a series of meeting in Athens and in Thessaloniki with politicians and civil society organisations, it was made clear how much a green transition remains needed in Greece in a series of fields. 

A different tour of the western side of Thessaloniki was made by young people from all over Europe who came to Greece to participate in the 8th Congress of Young Europeans organised by the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Thessaloniki office, on 19-22 October 2023. The participants of the tour saw parts of the city through the eyes of cooperative Social Solidarity Economy and neighbourhood initiatives that sprang up during the crisis as a collective effort to meet needs in a participatory and democratic way of decision making.

On the night of 6 February 2022, two devastating earthquakes hit south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria. As of now, at least 40.000 people have died, and it is feared that the number of victims will increase drastically. We have compiled a list of organisations to which you can donate in the different affected areas.
