The International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: Kyoto International Affairs Department, a consortium of universities) has decided to implement the “Kyoto Premium Experience and Exchange Project” using the contribution from Kyoto City.
This event will allow Japan students enrolled in universities, vocational schools, Japanese language schools, etc. that are members of the University Consortium Kyoto or the International Student Study Kyoto Network to experience the diverse and profound charm of Kyoto so that they can deepen their exchanges with each other through “experiences unique to Kyoto”.
We would like to create opportunities for Japan and international students studying in Kyoto to like Kyoto even more, want to live and work in Kyoto for a long time, and strengthen connections between students that transcend the boundaries of nationality and school.
The first event will be held on Saturday, November 9, 2024 in Ohara, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, and we will plan and hold a farm experience and a special visit to Ohara Sansenin, so we are looking for Japan students and international students to participate. Please don’t miss this opportunity and join us.

As a post-learning of the externship (work experience) course, we held a “practical training experience exchange meeting”.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
5~6 seminar classes from different industries gathered and presented their experiences and insights gained through practical training in each seminar class.
It is also possible for students who have completed practical training at various host places to gather and share experiences.
This is the real pleasure of the Kyoto Industry-Academia Collaborative Education Program.
I hope you will make use of the valuable experience you gained in your practical training in your future university life!
We will continue to work toward the further development of industry-academia collaborative education programs.
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.
In addition, international students from many countries and regions have their own cultural backgrounds, and in order to communicate smoothly, it is essential to understand customs, social norms, religions, etc. beyond language.
For this reason, the University Consortium Kyoto aims to raise the level of practical skills and motivate students to improve their skills by providing training to improve English proficiency by conducting case studies in various situations and training to learn about cultures outside of English-speaking countries.

From this fiscal year, we will conduct a new “Malaysia-Penang Cross-Cultural Understanding Training” for university students who belong to member universities of the University Consortium Kyoto.
Features of this training
★ At Universiti Sains Malaysia, students will attend lectures on culture, history, and ethnicity in English with local students and deepen exchanges with local students.
★ With the support of local students (buddies), they visit refugee centers and government offices in Penang to conduct fieldwork. On the last day, students will present what they have learned in Penang in English.
★ At CEMACS, the Marine Centre of Universiti Universiti Malaysia of Sciences, you will observe the plants and organisms that inhabit the waters of Penang and learn about marine surveys and SDGs activities.
★ We will visit local Japanese companies and hear from local employees about the difficulties and rewards of working overseas, and we will have a question-and-answer session. We will also take a tour of the factory.
★ Based on the lectures they received at the university, they will explore Georgetown, a world cultural heritage site, and the city in groups. Challenge yourself to a puzzle-solving game targeting Penang Island.
★ Breakfast is served at the hotel, and lunch is served at four different cuisines (Nyonya, Chinese, Indian and Malay) to learn about the diverse food culture.
★ For dinner, we will guide you to several nearby hawker centres (food stall villages) and night markets, so you can enjoy Malaysia’s national food cheaply and safely.
★ Two university consortium staff members will lead the trip from the beginning to the end, so even students who are new to overseas can participate with confidence.
Recommended for people like this
◆ People who want to make friends abroad
◆ People who want to experience different cultures by experiencing Malaysian culture, ethnicity, and history
◆ Those who are not confident in their English proficiency, but want to use English to converse and interact with local students

Highlights of Penang
Penang in Malaysia is also very safe, and it is the fourth safest city in Southeast Asia after Singapore. In addition, the cost of living is very cheap, and even in recent years, when the yen is depreciating, it is very cheap at 1/3 of Japan, and you can enjoy lunch and dinner within 300 to 500 yen. In addition, there are three main ethnic groups living in Malaysia, Malay, Chinese, and Indian, but the people are very friendly and many of them are pro-Japan, so you can stay with peace of mind. English is used as a semi-official language after Malay, and since tourists from all over the world visit Penang, English is almost always spoken in public places such as convenience stores and supermarkets. The climate in Penang is very mild, around 25 degrees Celsius in the morning and around 30 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, and there is little precipitation from November to March, making it the best season to visit.

The International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: University Consortium Kyoto International Affairs Department) will create a premium experience for students studying in Kyoto (international students and Japan students) to learn about the diverse and profound charms of Kyoto, and will implement the “Kyoto Premium Experience and Exchange Project” as a “place for exchange between international students and Japan students.”
We believe that it is important to provide an opportunity for both international and Japan students studying in Kyoto to develop an attachment to Kyoto and to establish themselves as leaders of Kyoto for a long time after graduation, as well as to raise global awareness and deepen understanding of diversity.
Based on the above, we are looking for a contractor who can carry out the planning and operation work related to the “2024 Kyoto Premium Experience and Exchange Project” through an open call for proposals.
If you would like to participate in the proposal, please prepare a project proposal and quotation according to the following guidelines and submit it by the deadline.
