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?
We managed to introduce WLM for the first time to the community and photographers.
- What did not work so well?
We had few challenges on accomplishing the mission, 1; some of the monuments were not easy to be accessed as they are located remotely, and 2nd; Some of the monuments needed special permit to take the photos, and they were some stops from agencies and officials for taking photos on buildings, till permitted.
- What would you do differently next time?
Make sure we have partnership with government agencies, have our photographers names printed on their badges with permit number, if possible support few photographers with transport funds that will give the power to travel to remote area and collect the photos of the monuments.
