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 collaboration of our Wiki community members who partake in daily activities at the Armenian high schools were very proactively involved in ensuring the success of the workshop series. Students were enthusiastic and motivated.
- What did not work so well?
All went well.
- What would you do differently next time?
We initially aimed to only reward prizes to the best editors, but seeing the high quality of the articles that were created and/or improved, we decided to award everyone a smaller prize within the wiggle room we had with the grant funds. We wouldn't necessarily call this a bad thing, but something we would differently next time.
