A warm welcome from NOVA
NOVA International School Skopje has welcomed students and families from more than 40 nations since 1997, and we are proud to bring the CEESA Conference to North Macedonia for the very first time. Our community put this guide together so you can spend less time figuring things out and more time connecting with colleagues and discovering the city.
Skopje surprises people. It is a city of contrasts, where one of the largest old bazaars in the Balkans sits a short walk from a modern city square, mountains rise at the edge of town, and a canyon is only a short drive away.
Our values of Openness, Empathy, Integrity, Balance and Collaboration shape how we welcome every guest. We look forward to seeing you in March.
- Openness
- Empathy
- Integrity
- Balance
- Collaboration
