9th PREX Global Network (PGN) Cafe “Women Beekeepers: Drivers of Positive Changes in North Macedonia”

PREX held the 9th PREX Global Network (PGN) Cafe online on September 16, 2026. The event is organized to promote networking among PGN members, who are former PREX seminar participants, and to provide opportunities for continuous learning.

For this ninth session, a new approach was introduced by inviting a PGN member to serve as the guest speaker and share initiatives and experiences from his home country. Mr. Dejan Antic from North Macedonia was invited to speak on the theme “Women Beekeepers: Drivers of Positive Changes in North Macedonia.” During the session, he introduced initiatives aimed at improving livelihoods and promoting sustainable community development through support for women beekeepers, the promotion of organic beekeeping, and assistance in developing beekeeping facilities. He also shared activities that contribute to community revitalization, including beekeeping training programs for women and young people and the provision of beekeeping equipment and materials.

Following the presentation, participants exchanged experiences and discussed challenges faced in their respective countries. Through the PGN Cafe, PREX continues to strengthen connections among PGN members while providing opportunities for members to share their knowledge and experiences with one another.
