Part 2: Learning

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: We plan to evaluate the results of Wiki Loves Earth 2023 in Uzbekistan to understand how can we bring more participants to the contest in next year and implement this data on other countries in Central Asia.

Generally every past participant we managed to contact agreed that they will participate in the contest in future and some of them even asked organizers for tips where to go take pictures next time. But at the time the global participation declines, we have no way to revert this specifically for Uzbekistan.

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)

Nothing were surprising, just the fact that you can make the most elaborate instructions in the world and people still will ask obvious questions. So it's important to leave the channel to contact the organizers.

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)

The organizing expierience is shared in the "Wiki Loves Central Asia" chat and in some more general groups. Also we did informal Q&A at Central Asian WikiCon in Tashkent that lead to adoption of Wiki Loves Earth in Iran.
