Abstract
Macedonian emigration, in its existence in the period more than 100 years, has created its own system of social and cultural acting. Based on ethnical organization, its aim was to create its own cultural values on the foundation of the Macedonian cultural inheritance. That was enriched with elements of current Macedonian culture as well as
with the element of the culture of the land in which they have emigrated. But, all these cultural activities are limited, because they content only several areas of the cultural life, connected, primarily, with the folk culture.
The cultural organizing contributes in creating the filing of cultural unity among the Macedonian emigrants, and in the same time the filing of the ethnic group as group that has its own culture. As a result of that, they can oppose the process of assimilation. With their activity, they enrich the cultures of their neuw homelands and make it more heterogeneous.
