Goals

edit

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

In general, we are satisfied with the project. We were able to organize activities in two cities out of four planned (due to the gathering of photographers in the two main cities of the country). We had professional protographers involved in their art and they were a good mix of newbies to Wikimedia contributing and experienced contributors. We are delighted because the participants wish to continue contributing to Wikimedian activities, on different themes. We thought of a sector organization of photographers for our User Group especially for this type of activity.

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?
Overall, everything went well. We saw the participation of professional photographers who agreed to freely give their quality images and this went beyond our expectations. Hence the percentages obtained become more of a motivation to work with them who are just as interested in our various projects.
  • What did not work so well?
The validation of project and time to execute the project.
  • What would you do differently next time?
We need more interaction with grant validation this project was intensive experience. The strategy had to be reviewed in relation to the various trips due to a lack of schedule.
For example, towns like Garoua could not be made. What was to our advantage is that for this competition, the photographers did not stay in their city of residence.

Given the photographers' places of residence, we opted for two cities, which is why Garoua and Buea were not done. All the same, there have been images of these towns around AFCON.
