Part 1 Understanding your work[edit]
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
The project took place in Rwanda, mostly in Kigali the capital city. We tried to invite people from different places mostly new editors. We used Whatsapp, phone call, email and Google Forms to inform, invite, select and update people about the campaign. We managed to run the campaign for 14 days with one big physical event for launching project and another physical meeting for closing, and within the campaign period we run 3 online sessions for providing trainings and more insights about the SheSaid campaign. In support of project organizers, the participants learned how to edit Wikiquote.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
The launching physical event and other online trainings were the main strategies that helped us to achieve the goals. The other strategy I can mention is running a campaign in manageable time, manageable time helped us to make follow up and assisting participants to the fullest and it kept them in mood of campaign until the deadline which resulted in achieving our goals.
