Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?
  1. When we were organizing the Afrika Wiki Challenge in Burundi, we had the purpose of engaging our community members in editing and article creation. The purpose has been acheived.
  2. The participants were interested in writting about the country culture.
  3. The participants have gained skils in editing and creating articles on Wikipedia.
  • What did not work so well?

The time allocated for the project was limited. The participants would have liked to have more time to do more.

  • What would you do differently next time?

Next time, we would request more time and resources to engage more participation.
