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?
Update of event article
What did not work so well?
Some difficulty with locating all the players, due to some illnesses among players restricting availability. Numbers of photographs to be taken weas based on the Paralympics, but the venues were more varied. Here there was only one venue. Main problem was unable to get images of Netherlands team.
What would you do differently next time?
Need to prepare lists of player photographs required in advance. More group shots of teams. It was difficult knowing in advance what photographs of the venue would be useful. Or indeed what the venue looked like, as it underwent reconstruction for the event.
