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?

Our Photowalk worked very well and the participants turned up for the training uploads

• What did not work so well?

There was no rain in Anambra state for the duration of photowalk. It gave us nightmares and worries on how to capture photos of rain in Anambra State

• What would you do differently next time?

We cannot control rain but hope that other environmental factors can cover up for our project

Anything else

Anything else you want to share about your project?

This particular project was good as it opened our minds and eyes on the peculiar environmental areas and the real life setting in Anambra state from our community lens. It was a whole new learning for us. The uploading of photos was new learning too as many people from the platform have never uploaded and were doing it wrong till this project happened.
