Creativity through the lens of a social innovator, social entrepreneur, systems change advocate and artist
"To me, it means that I am somehow tapped into the flow of life."
Nora Wilhelm is a social innovator and systems entrepreneur dedicated to driving positive change for a regenerative and just future. Her journey as a changemaker began at the age of 15, when she became deeply aware of global challenges, particularly in youth engagement and sustainable development. This early commitment to active citizenship led her to work with international NGOs and, over time, to focus on systems change and social innovation.
In 2017, she co-founded collaboratio helvetica, an initiative designed to catalyse systems change in Switzerland in alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nora holds a BA in International Affairs from the University of St. Gallen and an MSt in Social Innovation from the University of Cambridge, combining academic insight with hands-on experience in systemic transformation.
After experiencing burnout firsthand, she created the well • change atelier in 2023: a space for creative regeneration and inner work, designed to help changemakers turn personal challenges, like burnout, into opportunities for growth and sustainable impact. Today, through her initiative Parayma , she also supports changemakers in clarifying their purpose and navigating the emotional and practical demands of systems work.
Recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and a UNESCO Young Leader, she has spoken on global stages and continues to advocate for grounded, sustainable, and systemically informed approaches to leadership and transformation.
