What it is
Colorss
Foundation celebrates its Annual Day on 15th September. This year, in line with its vision and
mission, a large-scale event is planned to create awareness and attract
membership for the foundation’s cause.
This event is conducted mainly aimed to create awareness
amongst the following groups:
o
Students in Schools and Colleges
o
Corporate Sponsors
o
Social Media Users
Theme
Education is the underlying theme of this event. Education
is considered in its basic form i.e. “Imparting knowledge of the world to
society”. Hence, the subject matters are not restricted to one specific topic
or social cause.
The event will be conducted with a “Green”
color theme. The color green is a natural tone and it indicates peace,
prosperity and enthusiasm. It is hoped that the color theme will compliment the
same qualities in the planned event.
Planned Activities
“One-Page-One-Day”
Event format
The participants are given one page
in a classic literature book and they have to translate it in a corresponding
language. The languages are English to Hindi/Marathi and vice versa as well.
Interested participants will be required to register and a page will be
allocated to them. Registration process will be completed before-hand to get an
idea about number of pages so as to select proper books. Participant will not
be restricted to number of pages translated but minimum one page is needed.
Participants

Advertising Required and Selling Points
Advertising must be done in two formats:
- For schools, specific schools must be targeted
and approached to spread awareness amongst students. The staff must be
convinced thoroughly so that they can explain the concept to their students and
its benefits. Even schools may be convinced to assign a particular book to one
class as an extra-curricular activity.
- For colleges, event must be spread amongst peers
and students. Art clubs as well as Literature Clubs may be targeted and
assigned particular books.

Potential Sponsors
Publishing Houses must be contacted in order to find cost of
