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 organization of the workshops was great.

The participants were satisfied and enjoyed the workshops and photo walk.

  • What did not work so well?
  1. Absence of participants ( some participants attend only one workshop )
  2. Lack of equipment (laptops and internet connection)
  • What would you do differently next time?

If we organize this kind of project next time we will accept participants that have laptops and internet connection in their house so they can continue editing without any problem.
