Franziska is a cofounder of the Internationale Forschungsstelle DDR (IF DDR) and coordinates the Zetkin Forum as well as Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research’s Europe desk. Based in Berlin, she manages day-to-day work, connects organisations and activists across Europe and internationally, and develops research, publications, and political education projects. Drawing on her experience raising three children, she is especially passionate about political education with young people and working with playful, participatory formats rather than abstract instruction. She translates Tricontinental dossiers and newsletters into German, edits Zetkin Forum texts, and works as a planner, fundraiser, and political analyst.
