Learning
editProjects 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?
In general, the project went on so well ,considering the fact that the it was amidst the pandemic, a lot of efforts were needed in order to meet the target results. Deliberate mobilization was done and as result we managed to meet the project goals.
- What did not work so well?
Some participants being new, convincing them to submit their photos in the public domain was a bit hectic, but we believe that as the time goes on , they will understand the impact of their participation in the free knowledge creation.

Nothing extra but deliberate efforts to reach more people and more places.
