What we are taking home

After completing the assignments on gas in Mtwara and the challenges to press freedom in Tanzania, the participants also wrote their final summaries and feedbacks from the training week, what was especially useful for them, did the training fulfil their expectations, and what challeges there were, or other needs for improvement for upcoming training events.

Again, everyone was not able to post their texts due to the network problem. The ones who managed were using modems or connecting to the internet with smartphones. I will go though the feedback and post links. Meanwhile, you can go to the participants blogs to see for yourself, but note that everything published is so far for training purposes, including drafts and should not be judged as final products.

Many thanks to all participants for making the class so lively and debating. Thank you to Andrew Marawiti from MISA Tanzania for facilitating the whole training. Special thanks also to Ibrahim Kasonso from the IT department at Open University of Tanzania Mbeya Branch for the IT support and probably the fastest internet I have ever experienced in Tanzania (before it went off on Wednesday due to a failure at the service provider). Thanks also to the catering team for the meals and bites and popcorn at tea time.

The next internet trainings will be in Swahili language and conducted by Tanzanian trainers. The trainings will take place in May and June in Geita, Kigoma and Njombe.
