Part 1 Understanding your work[edit]
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
This year we organised Wiki Loves Earth for the third time, and it was organised in Tunisia for the seventh time.This project was a great opportunity to share photos about natural heritage in public domain.During this year contest we have changed our strategy.First of all,we shared our activities with a lot of association and clubs interested in photography and nature.Also we organised many presentation about Wiki Loves Earth in Tunisia for new participants to let them know about this contest.During the process of rating and evaluating the participating photos, we were keen to choose a judging team composed of members with experience in Wikimedia projects and photography.Finally, the ceremony was a great opportunity to hear from participants about the competition and how we can improve it.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
To achieve our goals we focused on three important things:
- We talked with photographers in social media (facebook) to let them now and take part in the project
- We organised presentations about WIki Loves Earth and how to participate
- We organised photo walk to share new area not photographed before

Part 2: Your main learning[edit]
6. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
Always learning have been an important part every time we organised Wiki Loves Earth .So, something we overcame this year is a cross organisational collaborations with various field related organisations during photo-walks and awareness sessions. Afterwards, we do have hope and believe to continue such mutual ventures in future as well. Collaboration will be the first important thing during the next year.
7. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences?
The late arrival of the money was the biggest challenge,but we overcome this problem.Next time we will prepare our event from the month of February.Also, the weather was too hot in June and July, so the filming process was very difficult and exhausting.Next time we will organize the event during the month of May and June. The weather will be moderate.
8. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
Weather is something which is fairly unpredictable, so our main goal in the future will be to at least have basic idea what are the long-term predictions for the upcoming months.
Fantastic cooperation with ِclubs and a few association will be a basic foundation for the next edition, since the preparation has already started. Both Institutes are very interested in this competition so they are eager to participate, and even have some additional ideas for project improvement.
