Part 1: Project and impact

[edit]

1. Describe the implemented activities and results achieved. Additionally, share which approaches were most effective in supporting you to achieve the results. (required)

Well like previousily, first of all, we divided our tasks on two formats: Online and Offline co-ordination. The online calls and coordination is handled by Nirmal Dulal and the offline calls and coordination is executed by Nabin K. Sapkota. Under Online operation we approached numerous photographers and photography organizations for their contributions and support. Under offline operation we executed open call photo-walk and awareness sessions under stand alone and collaboration format.

Well, with a theme of "Right person at right job" we're deployed professional photographers and photography organisations to lead our offline activities like Photography awareness session and technical prospective of photography with respect to our organisational themes and criteria . We believe this is something we've been practising to flourish our event strategy to achieve our goals.

Part 2: Learning

[edit]

4. In your application, you outlined some learning questions. What did you learn from these learning questions when you implemented your project? How do you hope to use this learnings in the future? You can recall these learning questions below. (required)

You can recall these learning questions below: In this project through this collaborations with numerous parties and associates we hope to built a strong and productive enthusiastic task force to create and distribute the free and open knowledge to everyone needed.

Well, learning have always been a crucial part of every events, specially the mass events. Year by year we're experimenting and executing different ideas and ways to make the event more broder and enthusiastic as we move forward. This time we pushed our outreach event even furthur by initiating 2 Photo Trek in search of more species of Flora and fauna upto the elevation of 17103 feet (5213 m) from sea level. There's where we learn how to co-ordinate, collaborate and execute events with local involvements and associates in minimum resources available.

So, something we overcame this year as well 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.

5. 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? (required)

Yes, along with the photowalk and awareness events; our first phototrek initiation did bought us so many surprises and realization during the event. We actually didn't plan for Photo-trek as we were targetting for National Parks from Lower Terai regions of Nepal but we ended up dividing our team and budget over all Himalaya, Hilly and Terai reason of Nepal covering nearby boders of both neighbouring country India and China.

Although we believe we're still struggling to reach more specific unexplored placesand photographers and photography groups to reach our targets, we believe to keep on walking and looking forward for more next year.

6. What is your plan to share your project learnings and results with other community members? If you have already done it, describe how. (required)

Well, we've not publicly shared our journey via blog or portal at the moment. But, we definatily looking forward to share our timeline and progessive stories with Wikimedia Community via blogs and here in local story cover portal soon as we assemble all the information.

Additionally, we've created specific pages of the event activities and shared publicly and community members via Telegram groups and social media:
