project named Beeleader. It works on education for kids by teaching them how to challenge themselves and develop new skills that can be quite
helpful for them to realize their dreams. it tackles the SDGs through
the making of a comic book about leaderships and bees hence “bee”
“leader”.

innovative workshops.

hence, the community has been working on projects to reach those young
