5 Lessons Learned - Key Themes Lessons Learned - Key Themes Lessons Learned - Key Themes METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY Grantees were examined as a whole and then they were broken down based on different demographic subgroups. Specifically grantees were broken down into those identifying as visible minority, Indigenous, LGBTQ2+, and francophone. It was intended that other subgroups be examined, however, there were either not enough responses within the groups to do an in-depth analysis. Responses to two questions - what was your greatest success in your project? And what was a lesson learnt through the project, and how would you have done differently? - were analyzed separately. The quotes presented in this report were responses to these two questions. In analyzing the grantee responses, the first step was to find out what common themes existed between all of the responses within a specific demographic group. Thus, within the demographic groupings mentioned above, the top 10 to 20 words that were mentioned most frequently in the grantee responses were identified. Next, all the quotes that contained these frequently used words were manually reviewed to understand the context to which the words were used for context. This allowed words to be grouped into specific themes. For example, the frequently used word "communication" was placed into the group labelled as "Challenges", whereas "connect" was placed in the group labelled as "Shared Community". The quotes were reviewed by the analyst for content, and select quotes were presented to TakingITGlobal staff for selection to include in this report.
