Dobredojde Macedonia Welcome Centre (DMWC) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to cultural diplomacy. Our mission is to promote Macedonian society's rich natural, historical, and multicultural heritage both domestically and internationally. Concurrently, we organize events that showcase international cultures in North Macedonia, fostering intercultural dialogue.
Our History and Evolution
Founded on October 20, 2009, DMWC began its journey by publishing the Macedonia Welcome Centre Magazine. This publication highlights cultural, historical, and tourist information pertinent to the international community while showcasing our activities. Today, we continue our mission through our website, www.dmwc.org.mk, serving as a unique hub for intercultural dialogue. We aim to share Macedonian cultural heritage, history, and traditions with the international community residing in Macedonia, while also promoting the cultural heritage of these international communities to the Macedonian people.
