WHO WE ARE
Building international cooperation with purpose, strategy, and experience
L’ORMAinternational is the international cooperation division of L’ORMA, an organisation funded in 2000 with more than two decades of experience in education, sport, social innovation, and international project development.
We work at the intersection of international collaboration, partnership development, and strategic project ecosystems — helping organisations create stronger opportunities through meaningful cooperation.
OUR STORY
Twenty Years of Evolving Collaboration
L’ORMA was founded in Italy in 2000 with the ambition to create social impact through education, sport, and innovation.
Over the years, this local mission evolved into an increasingly international dimension, with growing participation in European cooperation, international partnerships, and transnational project ecosystems.
L’ORMAinternational was born from this evolution.
Not as a traditional consultancy, but as a strategic international platform designed to connect organisations, develop opportunities, and strengthen long-term international cooperation.

From local impact to international collaboration
European cooperation becomes an increasingly important dimension of our work.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Building Partnerships Beyond Projects
We believe international cooperation should create more than funded projects.
It should create stronger partnerships, meaningful ecosystems, shared learning, and long-term impact.
Too often, collaboration begins too late – when a funding opportunity appears and urgency drives decisions.
We believe stronger international cooperation is built differently:
through trust, continuity, strategic alignment, and recurring collaboration.
Projects should be the outcome
of strong international relationships
not the reason they exist.

OUR APPROACH
Strategic Alliances Before Strategic Projects
Our work is guided by an approach we define as Strategic Alliance Structuring.
This means helping organisations move beyond isolated project opportunities toward stronger strategic relationships capable of generating recurring international collaboration.
Because stronger projects emerge from stronger alliances.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Built through real experience
Our perspective is grounded in practice.
Over the years, we have contributed to international cooperation through project development, partnership building, strategic networking, ecosystem activation, and international events.
This practical experience allows us to combine strategic thinking with real execution.
