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?

The level of support and encouragement from the organizations we visited, the kind of discussions talked, the interest shown by the students and the people met, the fun enjoyed during the project is absolutely incredible. Though most people we'd met did not know about Wikipedia Editing prior to our encounter but have really shown full interest and some have already joined us and are currently active in Hausa Wikipedia project.

  • What did not work so well?

Since this is my first project, I did not expected everything to be so well, we have faced some challenges like the timing and the budget, we conducted all the activities day by day without interval which made some of us stressful due to funds were received not in time, we did not expect spending all of our budgeted amount but as a result of continuous inflation rates in the country nowadays most price of goods hiked but still we were able to carried out the project accordingly. And at some public places we have encountered delay or refusal to allow us take photographs, they are requesting letter of approval from a government agency that oversee the place, and because that would take us more time to do so we stop it.

  • What would you do differently next time?

We would try to organize future initiatives in good time and bring proposals for how the project is going to be carried out collaboratively, and also to contact all visiting organizations in time.
