ÇALIŞ CARNIVAL PLAN
CARNIVAL DATE – 7 JUNE 2008
PURPOSE AND SLOGAN OF CARNIVAL
“Çaliş Için Elele” – “Hand in Hand for Çaliş”
The Carnival launch party took place on 22 August
The Carnival Project is being organised by the Çaliş Carnival Committee, acting under the banner of Çaliş Turizm ve Tanitma Derneği and FETAV
The event will be unique, being the first of it’s kind to be held in this area of Turkey. It will help to provide Çaliş with an identity of it’s own, rather than it’s present image as a beach area attached to Fethiye.
By holding the Carnival we aim to:
- Develop and instil a sense of belonging and local pride in Çaliş with everyone working together “hand in hand” for the good of the town
- Encourage and develop positive relations and harmony between the Turkish community and foreign citizens who have either bought property or are residing, working or holidaying in the Çaliş area
- Enhance the economic development of Çaliş and promote a positive image of the town locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, therefore encouraging increased tourism in Çaliş
- Involve local schools, businesses, organisations and institutions in promoting both Çaliş and their own activities
- Showcase Turkish customs and culture
- Raise funds for under privileged sections of the local community, these sectors to be chosen using advice and direction from Fethiye Belediye. This year’s fundraising will be specifically aimed to help local disadvantaged children.
- Create an enjoyable day and very safe atmosphere for all participants and visitors to the Carnival.
The day of the carnival will consist of three main elements
- Exhibition and Display area
There will also be a number of events in the week leading up to the Carnival Day
