The history of the Orthodox Association AOLN (Asociatia Ortodoxa pentru o Lume Nova) began in 1993, following contacts between the Catholic and ecumenical community Fondacio, Christians for the World, and the Romanian Orthodox Church of Sibiu. Young Romanian Orthodox organized a camp at Brâncoveanu monastery, in Sâmbăta de Sus, in the presence of 80 young Belgians and Romanians aged between 14 and 30.

Subsequently, between 1994 and 1998, young Romanians participated in pastoral camps organized by Fondacio, Christians for the World Association in France.

During the summer of 1999, the first summer camp was organized under the name of Youth Forum and Hope at the Brâncoveanu monastery, in Sâmbăta de Sus, with the participation of 90 young Romanians, as well as French and Lebanese young people .

Since 1999, every summer, during the last week of July, the Youth and Hope Forum has been held at Brancoveanu Monastery, Sâmbăta de Sus.

In April 2001, the “Orthodox Association for a New World” was legally established. In 2005, a second group was created in the capital Bucharest. In May 2013, the 4th International Fondacio Congress was held at Brâncoveanu Monastery, Sâmbătade Sus, with the participation of nearly 180 people including 120 delegates from 4 continents and more than 20 countries. It was also the occasion to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Fondacio.
