Learning

edit

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?

Being a break period, participants who happen to be students had enough time to contribute and also improve on their edit to a greater level.

  • What did not work so well? The internet has always been a major challenge in most cases. Although we found an alternative solution which is to load each participants phone still much work was not achieved due to the bad network. The location used was not too close for participants coupled with the scarcity of fuel in Nigeria.
  • What would you do differently next time?

Give data support for participants individually. Endeavor to comb for a closer and good network event location in the future events coming up.
