Goals
[edit]Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went? Yes — the SBRS Wikipedia Training and Workshop project met its goals, and the facilitator was happy with how it went.
- The trainer explicitly stated: “Yes I'm happy with how the project went and I meet all my goals.”
- Overall success: All key targets were achieved. The one area that didn't fully hit the target was “articles created,” but strong performance in article improvement more than made up for that.
- Outreach: Exceeded expectations, engaging a broad audience beyond just workshop attendees.
- Facilitator satisfaction: The project lead expressed clear satisfaction, saying they were happy and had met their goals.
- The robust article improvements and newly trained editors position the community well for follow-up workshops and longer-term engagement.
So yes — the project was a success, goals were met, and the team is pleased with the outcomes. Let me know if you'd like a breakdown on follow-up plans or deeper metrics!

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 turnout of students was impressive, showing strong interest in learning about Wikipedia and open knowledge. The training sessions were well-received, especially the practical, hands-on editing segment which helped participants grasp editing skills quickly. Collaboration with the school administration made logistics and mobilization much easier. The use of Hausa language for explanation helped bridge understanding for students with limited English proficiency.
- What did not work so well?
Limited access to laptops and internet connectivity during the training slowed down participation and made it difficult for some students to follow along or create accounts. Some participants had difficulty understanding Wikimedia policies and guidelines due to time constraints and the need to simplify technical terms. A few participants were not fully engaged due to lack of prior digital literacy.
- What would you do differently next time?
Partner with local ICT hubs or consider renting more devices and internet modems to ensure full participation. Introduce pre-training sessions or materials to give students basic digital skills before the main workshop. Allocate more time for Q&A and individual support during hands-on sessions. Include post-training follow-up activities to maintain engagement and track progress among participants.
