Kyoto Student Festival 12/6 (Sun) “Kyo Flame Sodefure! Please come ≪ us≫

To express our gratitude, we will hold the “Kyo Flame Sodefure Festival”!

The 13th Kyoto Student Festival (Main Festival) held on Sunday, October 11 was a great success, with a total of 144,000 people attending. This year’s festival, which is based on the themes of “Kyoto” and “International,” is the culmination of various exchange activities throughout the year, and we have planned a variety of genres such as dance, food, music, and sports. In addition, due to the redevelopment work of Okazaki Park this year, the main stage with the newly reborn Jingu-do in the background of Otenmon was very popular with visitors, and the attractive performances by the students, centered on the powerful stage overlooking the entire venue, created a sense of unity throughout the venue.
We would like to express our gratitude once again to everyone who came to the event and who have been supporting this activity in various fields on a daily basis.
Therefore, to express our gratitude to all of you, we will hold the “Kyoen Sodefure Festival“. There are odori, delicious food, and many children’s projects, making it a place for interaction between Mr./Ms. and generations. Please invite your family and friends to join us. We look forward to seeing you there.

What is the Kyoto Student Festival?

mvStudents in Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, collaborate with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university to disseminate “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalize the Kyoto area, and create new attractions.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as the promotion of the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and water sprinkling activities, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the activities that have been accumulated since the establishment of the Executive Committee so that they can make the most of what they have accumulated in the course of their activities so far at the main festival in October.

There were also presentations with videos and devising a format, showing the efforts and results of working on the project.

Yumecom Inc. 
~Planning and production project of the information magazine “Lifelike” for nursing care for one’s own retirement and family~

I have been working with the goal of having my thoughts published in the magazine “Lifelike” published by Yumecom. As a result, the publication date of Lifelike may change, and we were not able to achieve our goal of showing the booklet at this achievement debriefing session. However, during the internship, I learned a lot of things, including how to make plans.

Kiko Network
~Let’s gather 500 students for “Earth Parade 2015 in Kyoto”~

COP21 will be held in Paris for two weeks from November 30.
In order to make many people aware of the new agreement that replaces the Kyoto Protocol, the host country planned the “Earth Parade” at the center. I was involved in the planning and publicity of the project, and I had a variety of experiences.
Through negotiations with environmental circles and university co-ops, I learned the importance of actually taking action.

Wiz Co., Ltd. ~Let’s make a movie, distribute it, promote it, and release it~

The Wiz’s goal is to create and distribute films and raise funds for the next release.
During the apprenticeship, I was involved in the creation of two films.
Movies have a variety of roles, and even if one of them is missing, such as location scouting, lighting, costumes, and sound, it will be reshot. No matter how hard we tried, there were times when we had no choice but to wait.
In such a situation, it was difficult to manage and schedule more than 200 costumes.
The staff roll of the finished film will also include the names of the apprentices.

Concept Glamour Co., Ltd. ~Kyoto Asageiko~

Kyoto Asageiko started on October 20th. We planned the autumn place, and this time we planned “Adult Beautiful Letters”.
My first project was rejected, and I learned that it is difficult to grasp the “needs” when submitting a proposal, and how difficult it is.
It’s hard to be early in the morning, but it’s a healthy rhythm of life!
I made the most of my time in the morning and learned a lot of things.

Intelligence Office Co., Ltd. ~Hitomanabi Internship 2015~

An internship with the goal of creating a free paper. The free paper was successfully completed and distributed.
14 apprentices made 1,659 phone calls.
Of those, 69 appointments were made. We were faced with the rigors of sales activities.
The sales experience that I could not experience as a part-time job gave me an opportunity to think about my future path.
This is the last spurt for the event on December 5th.

Japan Women’s Professional Baseball League Kyoto Flora ~Game Event Planning and Management~

The goal of this project is to “plan and manage events for official matches held in late August” and to have as many visitors as possible.
In order to make this a success, we conducted it in collaboration with students from the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at Ritsumeikan University.

Yosano Co., Ltd. ~Efforts to raise awareness of Kyotango vegetables~

Yosano Co., Ltd. is located in Yosano Town in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture. We have created a product plan for pasta sauce, which is Yosano’s main product. I had seen many catalogs and pamphlets, but this was my first experience as a producer, and there were many things I didn’t understand.
We created a product plan by devising layouts, illustrations, and product description text that would be conveyed to the reader.
It was a very happy experience for the company to use the product proposal as a material for the presentation.

~Operation of a summer festival that connects the community of Yogo and the hearts of truant students, and creation of a place for interaction~

This is the fourth year of the summer festival, and we have planned and operated the BBQ site, which will serve as a place for interaction with local residents.
Through the cooperation of the children and the local community, we were able to successfully complete both missions, and we were able to realize the importance of “connection”.

Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education ~Teacher Training Support Seminar~

<elementary school>
At the actual school site, I was involved in the work of providing individual support for classes, correcting homework and study printouts, and leading field trips. Under the guidance of the teachers, I was able to interact with the children and learn how to interact with them and talk to them, and I was able to realize the rewarding and attractive work of teachers.

<middle school>
From August to November, each student set a goal and conducted exercises at the school site. Through class observations, guidance on club activities, and participation in school events, I was able to interact with the students Mr./Ms. a valuable experience, valuing my perspective as a teacher.

get-together

After the debriefing session, a social gathering was held. Three students who are practicing concept glamour will serve as moderators. The banquet began with a greeting from the coordinator, Prof. Kubo. The student project is a bingo game with self-introductions and a sudden interview. It was a time to interact with the trainees at another training site. It was a social gathering with endless conversations with the trainees, coordinators, and host recipients. At the end of the session, the coordinator, Prof. Nishimura, gave a closing remark, and the 2015 Progress Course came to an end.

Business Overview

This film festival is the largest international student film festival in Japan, planned and operated mainly by university students in the Kansai region, mainly in Kyoto. We aim to discover future filmmakers by creating opportunities for students to gather, judge, and screen independent films produced by students from all over the world.

This festival aims to revitalize Kyoto by creating a place for international exchange and mutual understanding by discovering and introducing talents who can add new fields to cinema from among the many possibilities of films from around the world.
