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 event was a very successful one.
- What did not work so well?
- Our major challenge was lack of access to cash and this affected the planning in a great way. Some of our members were not able to attend the training because of this same issue.
- What would you do differently next time?
- I'd ensure that the training is a hybrid one so as to accommodate participants who can't maké it to the physical training.
