What skills or knowledge do you hope to gain from this training?
[edit]- How to use different tools or techniques to make a project a success or achieve a specific goal
Based on your selected track, what is one challenge you have encountered in either evaluating Wikimedia programs or designing impactful projects? Please share your experience relevant to your chosen track.
[edit]- In small communities like the Assamese Wikimedia community, the same member has to contribute to each project and this has become an obstacle to the development of members' skills and for that reason, designing an impactful project becomes difficult.
How do you plan to apply what you learn after the event?
[edit]- I believe that after completing the Advance TTT training, I will be able to better serve the community with the knowledge gained there. Planning will be initiated as needed on a priority basis.
(Optional) Are you open to mentorship (either receiving or offering it)?
[edit]- Yes. I am interested in both options
