【For member schools】Applications are now being accepted for the 2016 “Kyoto World Heritage PBL Course”


Since 2015, the University Consortium Kyoto has been offering “Kyoto World Heritage PBL Courses” as a credit transfer course in collaboration with the Kyoto Cultural Heritage Platform of Tomorrow, which develops PBL in the field of Kyoto’s World Cultural Heritage sites.
A major feature of this course is that it is set in Kyoto’s World Heritage Site, which has cultural and historical significance, and students who go beyond the boundaries of the university can gather and study together through PBL through the credit transfer system. The university town of Kyoto and the historic city of Kyoto. The learning that can only be done in Kyoto is condensed in this subject.
In fiscal 2015, seven courses were offered in partnership with six universities in Kyoto’s six World Heritage sites, and approximately 80 students from 11 universities took the course.
*PBL: PBL (Project Based Learning) is problem-finding and problem-solving learning. Mainly through group learning, students discover problems and propose solutions on their own. Through this process, we aim to develop a variety of abilities and develop human resources who can play an active role in unpredictable times.

Currently, we are currently accepting applications for the establishment of the “Kyoto World Heritage PBL Course” for the 2016 academic year.
If you are a faculty member of the University Consortium Kyoto and are interested in World Heritage Sites or PBL courses, please contact the credit transfer officer of your university (Academic Affairs Division, Academic Affairs Division, etc.) or the credit transfer staff of the University Consortium Kyoto.

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.
