Judith Stumptner

From August 2008 to July 2010, Judith Stumptner worked in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. In collaboration with local and international partners, she organized a diverse cultural program with artists and cultural workers from German-speaking regions. With the opening of a new cultural center in the fall of 2009 and its establishment in the city and with partners, she created long-lasting structures for the promotion of German art and culture in Chernivtsi.

Judith Stumptner studied theater and media studies, book sciences, and journalism at the Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. In 2005/2006, she spent a year at the Jagiellonen University in Krakow, Poland. As a student, she gained a variety of experiences related to theater, literature, new media, and festivals. Internships at the Auswärtiges Amt and at the Goethe-Institut piqued her interested in international cultural work across borders. After her fellowship as a Robert Bosch Cultural Manager in 2010, she worked as a project manager at the Leipziger Buchmesse, where she was responsible for the international field, among other things.
