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?

One of the biggest achievement is the number of wowen who participed. This means we are reached more people. We are also satified by the variety of photos we've got.

  • What did not work so well?

Except the number of participants we have reached all of our targets.

  • What would you do differently next time?

The Covid-19 didnt allow people to go out a lot to take photo. We are sure that the number of participants will grow as soon as we get out of this situation.
