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 partners were super excited to host us and hence created an existing and thriving relationship.
  • The larger percentage of the participants were completely new and hence showed great value and interest which has increased their participation even till now.
  • We were also able to create a mini-hub in some of the partnered organization as a learning and mentoring focus for Wikipedia contributions.
  • A Good number of articles for activists was created.
  • The support from our experienced wikimedians were valuable in organising the training.

What did not work so well?

  • COVID-19 pandemic crippled some of the plans which leads to its posponement.
  • Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we were only able to accomodate atleast 30 partipants for each event and hence couldnt match up with our goals.
  • Not all participants were able to sign in into the outreach dashboard.
  • We could only cover Lagos and Ibadan and couldnt reach Osogbo due to the timing.
  • The recent unrest in Nigeria due to the protest against police brutality that led to a 24hrs curfew across the lenght and breadth of the country also affected our plans negatively.

What would you do differently next time?

  • Always have various plans.
  • Make sure participants register a Wikipedia account before the training so that will not slow us down.
