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?

How the participants quickly understand how to edit Wikipedia went well.

What did not work so well?

We planned to run this project in Kafur LGA of Katsina State, but unfortunately the shutdown of the Networks in the area due to Security Challenges have make us to change the event location from where we have planned to another location in Shanono LGA of Kano state. We do this in order to achieve our goals because the network take several weeks not open. This didn't work well because of this some of our planned participants didn't not attend full three days of the events.

What would you do differently next time?

Next time I will plan another program which will engage our previous event's participants.
