Learning

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?

1. The pageantry participants were glad to learn about the User Group.
2. Some of the contestants showed interest in becoming editors.
3. The project helped create awareness of Igbo Wikimedians User Group.

• What did not work so well?

1. I had no idea beauty pageantries were done late at night till dawn. I lacked sleep which I didn’t prepare for as I had to travel back the next day. It was a bit of a challenge for me.

• What would you do differently next time?

1. I will get a bit of sleep during the day.
