Learning[edit]
Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well? The most of the goals set were achieved even though not all the three events were conducted.
- What did not work so well? Due to COVID-19 pandemic we could not conduct all the events intended
- What would you do differently next time? Set higher goals and take it as a challenge to achieve the goals.
