【For Faculty and Staff】2017 Education IR Forum: Sunday, July 30

≪Information on the expiration of capacity and waiting list≫
We had expanded the number of applicants from the originally planned 150 to 200, but since the number of applications has reached the capacity, we have closed the application.
We apologize for any inconvenience we may have received from those who have been considering applying, and thank you for your patience.

* Although there are a few people, we are accepting waiting lists until July 21 (Friday).
* For those who have registered on the waiting list but were unable to prepare a seat, we will send you handouts on the day of the event after the forum.


The University Consortium Kyoto will hold the “Educational IR Forum” in collaboration with Liasec Co., Ltd.

In this forum, Mr. Kiyogo Oki, who serves as the head of the Waseda University Entrance Examination Development Office and is also a member of the working group of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s High School-University Connection Reform, talked about the importance of self-improvement of university education through data and entrance examination policies. You will introduce your efforts to improve education until you actually change your classes and education. We aim to be a place that contributes to the acceleration of reforms at universities in the Kyoto area and surrounding areas, and to the further spread and establishment of educational IR at universities in the future.


Due to the organizer’s mismanagement, there was an error in the name of the speaker at Kyoto Tachibana University in the case study presentation announced earlier.
We would like to express our deepest apologies to the people involved at Kyoto Tachibana University and to all those involved.

Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee held a “Partner Exchange Meeting”!

We held our first initiative, “Partner Exchange Meeting”!

_MG_0095 _MG_0042

On Wednesday, May 24, we invited people from the government, companies, local communities, and universities who are indebted to the Kyoto Student Festival to participate in the Kyoto Student Festival, and held a partner exchange meeting on Wednesday, May 24.

At the exchange meeting, for those who came to the event, touch the Kyoto flame! In addition, we reported on the details of this year’s pre-event, the highlights of the October Main Festival (the day of the Kyoto Student Festival), the announcement of the main visual, and the collaboration with project partners. In addition, through the “Kyoto Tea Expo,” one of the cultural projects that the Kyoto Student Festival is collaborating with this year, we attended workshops on “Uji Tea Culture and History” and “Learning how to brew tea,” and since the executive committee members became “Premium Tea Ambassadors,” we also entertained visitors with tea brewed by the executive committee members.

We received words of support and encouragement from the government, companies, local communities, and universities who came to the event, and it seems that the students on the executive committee were even more energized. Thank you very much to everyone who attended.

The first pre-event of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival will be held on Sunday, June 4 at Kyoto Gakuen University’s Uzumasa Campus. Everyone, please come to the venue after inviting each other.

Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Project Started! The first pre-event will be held on Sunday, June 4th in Ukyo Ward!


The Kyoto Student Festival is an opportunity for Kyoto students who transcend the boundaries of universities to collaborate with the business community, government, local communities, and universities, to disseminate “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalize the Kyoto region, and create new attractions.
I am working hard every day to achieve this goal.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Kyoto Student Festival. In Kyoto, which is called “Kyoto City of Students” with the theme of creating “Kyoto Student Culture”, students themselves become “culture”, learn about Kyoto’s culture, and
We will create a new culture with a student-like personality.
By connecting it to the main festival of the Kyoto Student Festival (held on October 8), which is the culmination of these efforts, we aim to make the festival more rooted in Kyoto and loved by people while demonstrating the student’s personality.
The first event, “15th Anniversary Festa in Ukyo feat. Subway Tozai Line 20th Anniversary,” will be held on Sunday, June 4 at Kyoto Gakuen University’s Kyoto Uzumasa Campus.
In addition to the Kyoen merry-go-round, which includes various cultures and holds a 360-degree parade that resembles a merry-go-round, a fashion show by international students in collaboration with the project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the return of Taisei, and the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Tozai Subway Line.
Mr./Ms. has a lot of project contents that can be enjoyed by everyone from small children to adults, such as a driver experience using a collaborative train simulator.
The University Consortium Kyoto supports the various activities that students carry out on a daily basis, and we will support them so that they can make the most of them at the culmination of the festival (October 8).
The students of the executive committee are also looking forward to seeing you, so please come to the venue.

What is the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department?

(1) Activities
With the aim of encouraging junior high and high school students nationwide to “study at a university in Kyoto” and “live a student life in Kyoto,” university students studying in Kyoto gather and post articles planned, interviewed, and photographed from the student’s perspective on the website “Kotokare” and SNS to convey “the real charm of Kyoto that I want to convey to junior high and high school students.”

《Operating media》WEB site “Kotokare” 

(2) Background of establishment
Kyoto City is home to 38 universities and junior colleges, and approximately 150,000 students, or 10% of the population, are a “university town and student town.” However, as the number of 18-year-olds declines over the long term and competition among universities is expected to intensify further, it is necessary to actively disseminate the appeal of Kyoto as a “university city and student city” to junior high and high school students who will become university students in the future.
Therefore, as a new initiative from the 27th academic year in collaboration with Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto, we have established the “Kyoto Student Public Relations Department” to disseminate to junior and senior high school students nationwide from the perspective of students the “real charm of Kyoto” that university students studying in Kyoto experience while living their student life.
