Final Design Proposal Team 21
Project Overview: the project aim is to create an organised system and/or product for planning “Gün” events, managing food responsibilities, and facilitating easy financial contributions (cash, gold, etc.) for the “Gün” component. Additionally, the project will explore the possibility of cross-support between different “Gün” groups to increase participation and engagement. Our proposal: to organize a fun yet waste-free event, we have come up with two proposals: a board game that will help organize the event and entertain the guests during it, and a box for each participant so that everyone can take home any leftover food, ensuring that it doesn't go to waste. Gün game Objective: making the Gün a moment of sharing and fun, highlighting the contribution of each participant through recipes, anecdotes, and convivial activities.Materials Needed -Role Cards (one for each participant)- Menu Cards (with Turkish dishes and optional culinary challenges)- Extra Activity Cards (conversation questions, riddles, and light games) - Recipe Sheet (to write and share your creations) - Symbolic Prizes (such as best dessert, most original dish, etc.)Preparing the Game(Meeting before the GÜN)1. Distribute Role CardsEach participant draws a role card representing their special contribution during the event. Examples of roles: - Organizer: coordinates the meeting and ensures everything runs smoothly. - Tradition Expert: shares stories or interesting facts about Turkish culture and traditional dishes. - Narrator: introduces games, questions, and conversations to keep the atmosphere lively. - Gün Photographer: captures the best moments with photos or videos.2. Distribute Menu CardsEach participant draws a menu card with instructions for a dish to prepare. Each card includes: - Dish name (e.g., baklava, mercimek çorbası). - An optional challenge, such as: . “Tell a story related to this dish.” . “Personalize the recipe with your own touch.” 3. Prepare Extra Activity Cards Extra activity cards are designed to add interactive moments, such as: - “Share a memory related to cooking.” - “Describe your favorite secret ingredient.” 4. Recipe Sheet Provide a sheet to collect and write down the shared recipes, which will be distributed to participants as a memento of the event.Game PlayStarting the GÜN - The organizer introduces the event, explains the schedule, and presents the roles. - Each participant introduces their role and shows the dish they’ve prepared, sharing any personal stories or details related to the recipe.Sharing and Conversation - During the meal, participants talk about their recipes and explain the preparation steps. - The Tradition Expert and the Narrator propose challenges and questions from the extra activity cards to keep the conversation flowing.Symbolic Award Ceremony - At the end of the meal, all participants discuss and choose categories to reward special contributions, such as: . Best dessert . Most original dish . Most interesting story related to a recipe - The prizes are symbolic and can include small tokens like a traditional spice, a kitchen decoration, or a Turkish sweet.Benefits of the New Format - Collaboration: the absence of competition fosters an atmosphere of sharing and harmony. - Recipes and Stories: recipes take center stage, with space…
