With this project, our aim was not only to provide tangible memories but also to leave a lasting impression of this taste, smell, and beautiful day in our students' memories. Our students received information for the promotion of the product, conducted shootings, and had the chance to demonstrate their knowledge in areas such as promotion, design, news writing, collecting visual and written data, and conducting interviews, all specific to this product intertwined with Alanya. We hope that the experiences they gained will contribute to the promotion of our culture and we aim to continue sharing our values with our students in future projects."
