Europa Office
European project development, cross‑border cooperation and promotion of minority languages, for over twenty years at the service of the Italian National Community and the border territories.
Mission and role
The Europe Office promotes the Italian National Community in Slovenia and Croatia and the territories where it lives, using European cooperation programmes to strengthen social cohesion, intercultural dialogue and shared development.
Italian, recognised as an official language in numerous bilingual municipalities, is for us a key for the future: a tool to build partnerships, protect minority rights and create new opportunities for young people, schools, institutions and communities.
Skills and services
- Analysis of calls and opportunities in EU territorial cooperation programmes.
- Design and drafting of European projects, from the initial concept to the work plan.
- Coordination of cross‑border partnerships and support to partner organisations.

Where we are
The Europe Office is based in Koper, in the heart of the Adriatic area, in a bilingual territory where languages and cultures meet every day. From here we coordinate projects and partnerships involving institutions and communities from Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and other countries.
We are easy to reach and work in close dialogue with local, regional and European authorities.
