You can recall these learning questions below: From this project or proposal, there are several key aspects that we hope to learn and gain insights from:

Effectiveness of Peer Learning: We aim to learn about the effectiveness of peer learning approaches in enhancing knowledge sharing, skill development, and community engagement. This includes understanding how participants benefit from learning directly from their peers and how this approach contributes to their growth.

Inclusivity in Learning: We want to gain insights into the effectiveness of our efforts to create an inclusive learning environment. Learning about the experiences of underrepresented groups and their level of engagement will help us refine our strategies to ensure that everyone feels welcomed and empowered to participate.

Logistical Support Impact: By providing financial and logistical support, we seek to understand how these measures impact participants' ability to engage in the program. Learning about the specific barriers that were overcome and the difference this support made will guide us in refining our support mechanisms.

Community Dynamics: Through monitoring and evaluation, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of how community dynamics evolve as a result of this initiative. This includes identifying any shifts in leadership, collaboration, and engagement within the community.

Skill Acquisition and Application: We aim to learn how effectively participants acquire new skills and knowledge and how they apply these skills in their community roles. This information will help us tailor learning materials and methods to maximize practical outcomes.

Sustainability and Impact: Understanding the long-term impact of the initiative on both the individual participants and the broader community is crucial. We want to learn about the sustainability of the skills and practices acquired and how they contribute to the Wikimedia movement's objectives.

Effective Learning Formats: By analyzing the success of different learning formats, such as in-person events, virtual summits, and tailored clinics, we can identify which formats resonate best with participants and yield the most meaningful outcomes.

Feedback and Improvement: We hope to gather valuable feedback from participants about their experiences, challenges, and suggestions for improvement. This feedback will guide us in refining the program and making it more effective in subsequent iterations.

Overall, the goal is to gather insights that will help us continually enhance the impact and effectiveness of our initiatives, fostering a stronger learning culture, empowering community leaders, and contributing to the growth of the Wikimedia movement.
