< ended> [For students and faculty members] Note-taker training course (beginner level) 《9/16》Call for participants


The University Consortium Kyoto will hold the “Note-Taker Training Course (Beginner Edition)” for students, faculty and staff as follows.
In recent years, many students with hearing impairments have been studying at universities, and there is a need for “information security” in lectures. A typical method of dealing with this is “note-taking,” in which lecture information is written down to students with hearing impairments. Currently, the number of supporters who take notes is insufficient at each university, and increasing the number of supporters is a very important issue for hearing-impaired students studying at universities.
Therefore, this time, in order to let more students, faculty and staff know about note-taking, we will hold a “Note-Taker Training Course” for those who are interested in note-taking (inexperienced) or those who have just started supporting (beginners). Why don’t you start note-taking as a step towards creating an environment where students support and learn from each other, and to guarantee the rights of everyone who studies at university?

Project Details

 

What is a Regional Revitalization Project?

The Executive Committee, which plans and manages the Kyoto Student Festival, brings together Kyoto students from beyond the boundaries of the university and engages in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society in cooperation with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university, and further revitalizing the Kyoto area and creating new attractions.
This time, the Executive Committee has launched the “Regional Revitalization Project” as a new initiative, and this year we planned pre-events in the Fushimi and Demachiyanagi areas. Through this project, we aim to revitalize the community with the power of students, and to become a festival that is more rooted in the community and loved by the people of Kyoto. The results of this initiative will be connected to the 14th Kyoto Student Festival to be held on October 9th, so please come to the venue (Okazaki Promenade in front of Heian Jingu Shrine).
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in such daily activities, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the festival in October so that what has been accumulated in the course of activities since the establishment of the executive committee can be maximized at the main festival in October. For encouragement to the Executive Committee, please come to the venue of the Kyoto Student Festival Pre-Event in Demachi Yanagi.

FY2015 “Designated Research Project Project” Survey Results Report Published

Since 2015, the University Consortium Kyoto has established designated research topics and conducts research by researchers in specialized fields with the aim of contributing to the review and improvement of its projects, new development and sophistication, and the provision of information to Foundation member universities.
In fiscal 2015, we set three designated research topics and conducted research on them.
We are pleased to announce that we have prepared a report on the results of our research and research.



2015 University Consortium Kyoto Designated Research Project Survey Results Report
               PDF data


Designated Research Topics

theme

Survey on factors that impede the employment of international students in Japan and Kyoto

Principal Investigator

Kyoto Sangyo University, Faculty of Law, Professor Masanori Nakatani

Background and Objectives of the Research

With the progress of globalization, companies are increasingly willing to hire international students (hereinafter referred to as “international students”), and many small and medium-sized enterprises in Kyoto are no exception. However, the awareness of local companies on the part of international students is lower than that of Japan students. The purpose of this study is to conduct questionnaires and interviews with international students, universities, and companies, and to analyze where there are barriers to international students’ employment, especially those that prevent them from settling in Kyoto companies.

In addition, we will comprehensively consider what is an effective educational method to remove such obstacles, what is an effective way to convey support information from companies and governments, and what can be done if there is anxiety among local residents due to the increase in the number of international students (foreigners).

Research Reports

 


theme

Questionnaire Survey on Internship Graduates

Principal Investigator

Ritsumeikan University, Faculty of International Relations, Ritsuko Kawamura, Professor

Background and Objectives of the Research

In the internship program, we have conducted a questionnaire immediately after the program to measure the effectiveness of the education. A follow-up survey was conducted in 2007 for students who had completed the internship program, but since the situation surrounding internships has changed considerably, a questionnaire survey was also conducted in 2015 to determine the results of the previous year’s alumni who participated in the Foundation’s internship program. We will clarify how the internship experience influenced the development of career and personality after graduation and university life. Therefore, we will set research questions and measure the educational effectiveness of the internship.

In addition, we will investigate the intention of the University Consortium Kyoto to develop alumni who will play an advisory role and to contribute to the refinement of this program from the perspective of alumni who have entered the workforce.

Research Reports

 


theme

“Survey on the Growth of Kyoto Student Festival Student Executive Committee Members through Activities

~Verification of the effectiveness of intercollegiate activities and further business improvement~”

Principal Investigator

Kyoto Bunkyo University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Professor Masami Mori

Background and Objectives of the Research

It is expected that the general skills and project management skills of the student executive committee members will be nurtured through various activities such as interaction with students and working people from other universities in the activities of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee, planning, management, and implementation. However, until now, there has been insufficient research and reporting on the educational effects of student festival activities. Therefore, through the activities of the Executive Committee, we aim to clarify how students will grow concretely (educational effects) through quantitative and qualitative analysis after conducting program tests and interviews, and to use them as materials to explain the significance and effects of the project to various stakeholders. In addition, we will use it to further improve operations, such as reviewing the management and teaching methods of the Kyoto Student Festival.

【Finished】Kyoto Student Festival Regional Revitalization Project Started! The first event will be held on Saturday, May 21 in Fushimi!

What is a Regional Revitalization Project?

Students from Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, form an executive committee and engage in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalizing the Kyoto area, and creating new attractions in collaboration with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university.
In fiscal 2016, under the title of “Regional Revitalization Project,” we solicited organizations (partners) that can work hand in hand with students, and selected partners. Together with these organizations, we will carry out various projects to realize the revitalization of each region of Kyoto. By connecting them to the main festival of the Kyoto Student Festival (scheduled to be held on October 9), which is the culmination of these festivals, we aim to become a festival that is more rooted in the community and loved by the people of Kyoto while demonstrating the student’s personality.
The first regional revitalization project will be held on Saturday, May 21 at Fushimi Port Park and Fushimi Otesuji Shopping Street. In addition to the performance of the Kyoto Student Festival’s original creative dance “Kyo Flame Fudeit“, there will be a fair-day project in cooperation with the local organization “Oyaji-no-kai”, and a mini train in collaboration with the Keihan Railway will appear Mr./Ms. the event. You can enjoy interaction across generations.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in such daily activities, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the festival in October so that what has been accumulated in the course of activities since the establishment of the executive committee can be maximized. Please come and give encouragement to the executive committee.
