About the 20th Kyoto Student Festival

 

The Kyoto Student Festival is a major event that has been held every October since 2003 in the Okazaki Promenade area in front of Heian Jingu Shrine, and has attracted more than 100,000 visitors. It is a student-produced festival that can only be done by university students studying in Kyoto, a city of students.

Following the first online event in the history of the 18th Kyoto Student Festival, the 19th Kyoto Student Festival Main Festival was held as the first hybrid that fused online and offline. Under the theme of “Kyoto Culture,” we were able to experience the traditions and culture rooted in the region, and together with the local people and all the people who were connected to us, we created the Kyoto Student Festival, and we were able to finish the festival with great success.

On November 25, 2021, the 20th Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee was established and has started its activities. The Kyoto Student Festival, which is also the 20th anniversary of the festival, aims to enliven Kyoto by pursuing a form of festival that can only be done in Kyoto, a city of students.

The 20th Kyoto Student Festival Theme

About the theme

I feel grateful that I was able to build a long history of the Kyoto Student Festival, and I express my feelings in a new way. This does not mean a simple regression, but rather an event that has taken place in the past and a touch of the past Kyo flame sode! We aim to take on new challenges based on the past, such as projects with OBOGs and companies that have sponsored and cooperated with us.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Kyoto Student Festival student organization for continuing until the 20th edition. The gratitude we feel “blooms” as a large flower, and we “scream” so that our feelings of gratitude can reach many people.

Call for Participation in 2022 Faculty and Staff Skill Improvement Training

Business Overview

As the globalization of higher education accelerates, such as the enhancement of support for international students and the promotion of collaborative projects with overseas universities, the English proficiency of university faculty and staff has become indispensable as a basic ability.

【Mainly for high school teachers】”The 13th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” July 9 (Sat) Call for Participants

The “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” is a place where people who transcend the boundaries of schools and their founders can share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve problems.

We are pleased to announce that the 13th meeting will be held as follows.

The 13th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting

What is the role of teachers in the time of integrated inquiry?
―How does inquiry change one’s identity as a teacher―

How should we design inquiry-based learning, including “time for comprehensive inquiry”?
What should be the role of faculty members in inquiry?
How should inquiry-based learning be evaluated?

As the new Course of Study is fully implemented in all high schools, students will learn about the approach of inquiry and exchange opinions based on various case reports so that they can be used in curriculum design at each high school.
With the keywords of “individually optimal learning,” “companionship,” and “evaluation,” participants will share issues with each other, deepen exchanges, and think about how inquiry can change teachers’ career identities.

We look forward to your active participation.

2022 High School and University Collaboration Future Session Executive Committee

From June to November, the Executive Committee will consider the plan based on the following contents, and carry out various activities such as publicity, preparation, and operation on the day.

Dates Thursday, November 3, 2022
Purpose Due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection, social conditions and values have changed significantly, such as the development of the ICT environment and the promotion of side jobs, side jobs, and remote work, and the diversity of “ways of learning,” “working styles,” and “lifestyles” is expanding.
From April 2022, the age of majority will be lowered from 20 to 18 due to the enforcement of a partial revision of the Civil Code. This will be an even bigger social change and a turning point in the times. For high school and university students, who are now at a turning point in many ways, how will this change lead to the future? How will the future of change affect us?
In this year’s “Future Session for High School and University Collaboration,” we would like to have dialogue and exchange on new ways of “learning,” “working,” and “living” in the near future, while being aware of our own present, transcending generations such as high school students, university students, and working adults, as well as between schools.
