a young and growing organisation aiming to build a pan-European and global network of professionals based on skills, trust and friendship.
with diverse backgrounds from rural development through culture to public health.
Despite these differences, a few things strongly link us.
We started BAFE with a group of alumni of the Bellevue Programme of the Robert Bosch Foundation - an initiative that has become a trademark during its thirteen years of running
From the beginning, we have been open to all professionals who share our values and by now we have members from outside the Bellevue Program, too. Committed to the European project, we also reach out to professionals' communities in Europe and worldwide by our publications and projects.
Because we want to continue what we started as Bellevue Fellows: to create real social impact, to promote international understanding in the public sector and to contribute to a new outlook on our current issues.
