You can recall these learning questions below: 1. what is the level of interest participants have in lets connect program? 2. do they think that its safe and inclusive learning environment? 3. are the opportunities the program offers and the process clear for participants? 4. are participants learning and sharing skills that can be applied to their wikimedians activities? 5. are we building collective capacities that can further support Wikimedian communities in our context? 6. most importantly are the support offered throuh this funding helping to reduce barriersto participate in spaces? 7. are the learning method adequate for participants needs and interest?
1. The participants show maximum interest in let's connect program this is clear by attending the other sessions organised by the let's connect working group by our participants. 2. Yeah, this is because it's generally known that let's connect is a space that you are welcome to make mistakes, we are all here to learn and no one is superior. We thought this helps in making the space safe. 3. Yeah the program offer opportunities like the support, materials and also being in the same space with experience Wikimedians. 4.

Yeah, phase 2 of let's connect is about community building and that's what we worked on building at the project. Looking at our topics. It's matters that affect the entire community. 6.

Well, yes we think what really happens is the emphasis from the let's connect working team to have an in-person event, as we did not plan throughout for it.
This takes us, a lot of time to readjust and be able to come with the plan to host it. This is due to so many challenging factors at that particular time. Eg the partial funding and also the state of the economy od Nigeria at that particular time.
