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?

Participants were able to explore more about the wikimedia movement, introduced to sister projects to wikipedia and how best they can contribute to them.

  • What did not work so well?

some participants were limited by the new conference that was absolutely new ,since they are used to zoom and google meet


  • What would you do differently next time?

There could be some trainings on how to use the conference app before the summit starts to avoid people getting misdirected and not being able to join sessions of their interests.
