New Moment OHRIDEA Festival

What is OHRIDEA?

For the guests from the New Moment branches it is the most unique and memorable experience they are anxiously waiting to come during the whole year! New Moment people from Belgrade, Sofia, Banja Luka, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Athens/Nicosia, Tirana, Pristina….. they all arrive in Macedonia in same day, very excited, stopping first in Skopje to eat kebaps in Saso’s office, then continue all together to Ohrid to have fun for several days. And nights. They end up a bit disappointed at the last day, cause New Moment Skopje has again won the majority of the OHRIDEA awards.

For us, the hosts, it means a lot of work and long sleepless nights, as for the most demanding client ever! We do all it takes just to make our guests experiencing unforgettable moments of OHRIDEA. And we do it gladly. However, it is fair to say that even we end up with our own unforgettable experience, but huge black eye-circles as well…

Although the above is absolutely true…..

…the closest definition for non-New Moment people would be – an annual gathering of all New Moment branches in Ohrid, for creative thinking, education, award winning, and having lots of, lots of fun. Cause we all deserve it. Work hard, play hard.

Why Ohrid?

Ohrid is beautiful and very inspirational place. Inspiration is crucial for creativity.

Ohrid is everything that local creativity means. Nurturing local creativity is the foundation of OHRIDEA concept.

Ohrid is everything that diversity means. Diversity brings creativity.

Ohrid is a city of UNESCO and the pearl of Macedonia.

And because Macedonians are the best hosts ever :)
