The Buyukkonuk Eco-Tourism Association received a grant, which is the basis for experimenting with the PDPM approach.
This "project" is to build sustainability for the association by increasing knowledge and experience of members in staging festivals, weekly markets, other fund raising activities, as well as training in many aspects of eco-tourism.
The community of members meet weekly at a "Coffee morning' to discuss the last week's activities, plan the next event, and discuss longer term questions. This is evolving into "progress meetings" using the deliverables matrix. The hope is for the team to be more efficient by creating procedures for 'repeat job' or requirements that are necessary for each event.
This can help to encourage participation in the money making activities while at the same time allowing for easier understanding of the costs associated with staging the event - both financial and time/energy. Success in these areas will build increasing skill and confidence to tackle bigger issues of legislation, regulation, and cooperative efforts.
The executive team is working with the PDPM approach to organize the many efforts and events that they are undertaking. The effort is led by Ebru Deniz Tekman, supported by local consultant Ali Tuzunkan and expert Mari Novak.
