On March 7, Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto held a special event, “The Four Seasons and Festivals of Kyoto,” at Campus Plaza Kyoto, ahead of the start of accepting applications for Miyako College, a lifelong learning program provided by Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto for working adults. The purpose of this event is to spread awareness of the “Kyoto Skills Training Course” established at Kyoto College in order to allow students to learn about Kyoto in depth from various perspectives.

On the day of the event, in addition to a lecture by Professor Toru Yagi of Bukkyo University, who specializes in folklore, Mr./Ms. Hinakiku, a native of Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, who is active as a geiko in Gion East, appeared as a talk guest. The venue, which has a capacity of 280 people, was packed as soon as it opened, and about 400 participants listened to Professor Yagi and Mr./Ms. Hinagiku talk about the main venue in a hurry to show a video of the main venue at another venue.

IMG_1999 Professor Yagi giving a lecture on the theme of Kyoto’s Four Seasons and Festivals

Professor Yagi, who serves as the chairman of the planning committee of the Kyoto Studies Course, gave a lecture on the atmosphere of festivals throughout the year in Kyoto. He explained that there are many water festivals in spring and summer and fire festivals in autumn and winter, and called on people to participate in the Kyoto Studies Course “Kyoto Festivals and Bustles” starting in April to learn about the changes in Kyoto’s festivals.
IMG_3736Dialogue between Professor Yagi and Mr./Ms. Hina Kiku

After the lecture, Mr./Ms. Hinagiku joined the stage and answered questions from Professor Yagi about episodes from her time as a maiko and her thoughts on her juniors. When asked about Kyoto’s festivals, he replied in Kyoto that he loved the relaxed Kyoto festivals, and the venue was in a friendly mood. They also danced and played flutes, adding color to the venue. Visitors seemed to be very well received, saying, “It was a very interesting project,” “It was a valuable experience to hear the stories of active geisha,” and “Professor Yagi’s talk was easy to understand.

Modern society expects women to play an active role, and the government is implementing various initiatives with the aim of “creating a society in which all women shine.” As an approach to high school and female university students who will be the leaders of the future and who are making career choices in the future, the first question should be “What kind of jobs are there in society?” and “Is it really possible to balance work and family?” In order to face and respond to such simple questions and anxieties, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council and the High School Consortium Kyoto invite women from various industries who are actually active in society to listen to their diverse career experiences, talk together, and hold a project in which Mr./Ms., a female high school student and female university student, thinks about her future.

Lecture Outline

theme What is Curriculum Design?
~Aiming for a Consistent Curriculum Design~
Overview In recent years, Japan’s higher education has been required to shift to an organizational and systematic curriculum based on diploma policies and curriculum policies.
Although each university has been tackling various issues through educational reform and FD, it is said that society is still dissatisfied with the current progress in improving undergraduate education.
The most important aspect of undergraduate education as a program is policy-based curriculum design.
How can we shift from the traditional teacher-centered curriculum to an organized and systematic curriculum?
Also, how should specialized education and so-called general education be positioned in the curriculum offered at each university, and how should they be related?
Based on this awareness of the problem, we will share the process and content of the discussion during this period from the precedents of universities that have specifically worked on curriculum reform, and we will provide an opportunity for participants to obtain hints on the optimal decision-making process and problem solving at their home universities.

Contents of the project

There were 31 mock lectures in various fields, 13 hands-on lectures, and a student project called “Campus Talk” where students could interact with current university students. The university-specific booths were crowded with people who consulted about everything from small questions about university life to specific admission methods.
