Nicola Bramkamp

Nicola Bramkamp has been at home on the world’s stages as a theater maker for more than 20 years, most recently as acting director at Theater Bonn. She is convinced that we can change the world with stories, because what we cannot imagine cannot happen.

That is why she founded the SAVE THE WORLD initiative in 2018, which stages global future issues worldwide. SAVE THE WORLD brings together artists and experts to communicate the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals to a broad audience. The program ranges from festivals, performances and shows to exhibitions, conferences and talks.

In her artistic projects, she forms “wild alliances” and regularly collaborates with stars from science, business and culture, such as Maja Göpel, Philipp Westermeyer, Luisa Neubauer, Max Mutzke and others. As a curator, she has been responsible for the TEDx Bonn conferences since 2015, regularly designs communication and event concepts for companies (OMR, Jägermeister, Telekom, Escada), conceives festivals and large shows for cultural institutions and public clients such as the United Nations.

As an expert in transformation, sustainability and diversity, she is a regular keynote speaker and trainer. She passionately moderates cultural events and panels in the political high-level segment (including with Ministers of State Claudia Roth, Lisa Paus & various other high-ranking officials). For her commitment, she was awarded the “Kulturgestalten” future prize by the Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth in 2023.
