About

Since 2007, the addition "for freedom" has become an established part of our foundation's name. After all, freedom is under threat. This makes it all the more important to campaign for freedom and to take on the responsibility that goes hand in hand with it. FNF has been doing this since its foundation on May 19th, 1958. Headquartered in Potsdam (near Berlin), FNF has offices throughout Germany and in over 60 countries around the world.

Based on the principles of liberalism, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF)offers political education in Germany and abroad. With our programs, events, and publications, we help individuals and communities get actively involved in political affairs. We support talented young students with scholarships to study in Germany.

The Project

Sri Lanka has had a profound public funded education system since post-independence era. However, the curriculum is primarily based on natural science subjects (STEM and more)and overlooks the branch of social science subjects such as psychology, international relations, development, law etc. at a secondary school level education system. In addition, most of the syllabi are not updated with the constantly changing global knowledge for several decades. Therefore, this project aims to narrow the knowledge gap among Sri Lankans who has not been exposed to this globally popular social science idea – Liberalism. The objective of Liberalvalues.lk is to foster a clear and correct understanding about Liberalism among all Sri Lankans
