2. Increase skills for existing editors: We have been able to increase the skills of existing editors and they gained experience in the project we were learning especially in researching on the original stories from the communities around the folkloric festivals in Rwanda
3. Add or improve content on folklores in Rwanda: We have been able to document different folkloric cultural and instruments across the country

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?
We have successfully been able to engage new participants and the photo hunting was challenging but we managed during COVID 19 pandemic challenges as no festival organized yet.
- What did not work so well?
The organization of online workshops was successful but we have not been able to collaborate with the institutions in charge of folklore promotion due their engagements in other ongoing activities.
- What would you do differently next time?
We will make sure there is a strong awareness not only in new editors but also among the whole Wikimedia Rwanda community in order to get more information on folklore in Rwanda
