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?

We were able to engage the all participants physically and also did online follow up after each meet-up.

  • What did not work so well?

We had internet glitches which did not allow most of the participants to edit as expected onsite but participants were able to edit at their various homes and office space.

  • What would you do differently next time?

We will get a better event space where we can get a stronger internet connection.
