The Board:
Nils Torpus
co-presidency
I was born in 1969 in Liestal, Switzerland. I work as a theater actor and director. In my work, but also in my life, the question of meaning keeps coming up. In 2022, I therefore canceled everything to break out of the rat race. I also took a trip to Uganda and worked as a volunteer in a small facility for orphans and children whose parents or carers cannot afford school. This is now my third time there. I am very grateful that I have found an association in ZämeWiiter that is willing to support this valuable project.
Stephan Lichtensteiger | actuary
Born in 1958, he trained as a primary school teacher and studied theater pedagogy at what is now the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). He has been and continues to be active in many fields, primarily in the cultural sector. In addition to his work as a lecturer at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB) and other universities, he co-founded "fischteich," a studio for concept development, scenography, and media production for thematic exhibitions. He is happy to contribute his knowledge of development, design, and implementation processes to the "Whispers of Love" project through the association "ZämeWiiter" (for which he has been managing the website for some time).
Albert Suana | Cashier
My name is Albert Suana and I am 63 years old. In the summer of 2024, after 39 years of service as a primary school teacher and headmaster, I took early retirement. I am delighted to be able to invest some of my newfound free time in this school project and to contribute my pedagogical expertise to the board of directors of "Zäme Wiiter".
