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?

Due to the lock down, people were happy to keep busy.

• What did not work so well?

I could not carry out the project the way I planned due to the Endsars Protest in the country.

• What would you do differently next time?

I will encourage editors to add their dialect in the wiktionary edits. i noticed that most people created pages with only the standard Igbo language which is good. But there is also a provision in the pages for people to add their dialect for the words created. Most editors did not add their dialect.
