Multilingualism

We believe that languages are the essential tool to start transforming knowledge into action. Ensuring the highest level of language proficiency is our way of bridging the gap between cultures, facilitating P2P (People to People) exchange and supporting the spread of knowledge and information. To make that possible, we provide all our services, as well as interpretation, in the following languages:

English

French

Chinese

Macedonian

 


ESTIMA is an official Macedonian partner of the International Network "Maisons des Francophonies"


ESTIMA is a member of the CHOICE network (China Observers in Central and Eastern Europe)
