Introduction of Lifelong Learning Courses at Member Universities and Junior Colleges

Public lectures and lectures are held at universities and junior colleges that are members of the University Consortium Kyoto as a place where many people can easily come into contact with knowledge and culture in a wide range of fields. We look forward to your participation. This time, we would like to introduce the “Ritsumeikan University Saturday Course”.

Ritsumeikan Saturday Lecture

The Ritsumeikan Saturday Lecture was established with the aim of opening university lectures widely to the public and strengthening the ties between the university and the local community, based on the late President Emeritus Hiroshi Suekawa, who was the president of the university at the time, who advocated that “scholarship and science exist to protect the interests and human rights of the masses, and that it is the university that creates human beings through learning, and that it is important to walk with the masses, think with the masses, and learn with the masses.” On March 31, 1946, in the midst of the turbulent postwar period, Professor Hiroshi Suekawa held his first lecture entitled “On Labor Union Law,” and since then, it has continued for more than half a century, pursuing “open academia” in a practical manner.
In addition to introducing academic trends and research results in various fields, commentary on classics and famous books, the book also covers a wide variety of content that is appropriate for the purpose of opening up university scholarship to the public, such as elucidating actual current affairs down to the dimension of academic methods and theories, and setting themes that are ahead of the times.

2014 Gakumachi Collaboration Project Selected Organizations!

On Sunday, June 29th, the Gakumachi Collaboration Project “Public Presentation Screening (Second Screening)” was held.The “Gakumachi Collaboration Project” is a project that grants support funds to initiatives in collaboration between the university and the local community to create attractive communities and solve local issues.

Fushimi Fukakusa Community Archives [300,000 yen]	Fushimi and Fukakusa Community Archive Project [Ryukoku University/Fushimi Ward]	The movement to archive local “records” and “memories” as intellectual property is gaining momentum throughout the country. In Fushimi Ward, there is a strong momentum for this movement, and there is a particularly strong interest in the townscape and life of the Showa era. The purpose of this project is to collect, digitize, and publish materials (8mm film that is deteriorating) that record the townscape and lifestyle of the Showa era from the perspective of ordinary people, and to consider how to use them.
Otomodachi Strategy! ~Music Workshop from 0 years old~ [109,100 yen]	Nico Nico Family Concert Executive Committee of Kyoto City University of the Arts Student Volunteers [Kyoto City University of Arts / Shimogyo-ku]	Friendly House Nishihachijo in Shimogyo Ward is an educational facility for children aged 0~3 years old and their parents. Parents and children with small children tend to be isolated from society for a variety of reasons. By creating a space where such parents and children can gather, this facility aims to ease the burden of child-rearing and create a better child-rearing environment. We would like to continue to hold music workshops for parents and children there, and create a place where parents can relax and connect.
Operation Umezu School District ~Connecting residents with towns, towns and school districts [300,000 yen]	Federation of Umezu Neighborhood Associations (in charge: Umezu Town Development Committee) + Ritsumeikan University Inui Seminar [Ritsumeikan University / Ukyo Ward]	(1) To convey the appeal of the Umezu School District’s community activities to those who have newly moved to the area and those who have not joined the residents’ association, and to disseminate the contact point for the community (Preparation and distribution of “(tentative) Umezu Regional Activities Chronicle” and “Umezu Regional Activities and Regional Organization Navi”). (2) At the same time, create opportunities for new people to meet each other in the town and create an atmosphere where it is easy to participate in local activities ((tentative) Welcome to Umezu / Welcome to XX Town).

It expresses that Arashiyama, Kyoto, is not only a place of tradition and history, but also a place that nurtures cutting-edge culture and art. We hope that the students’ works, such as paintings, prints, sculptures, and dyeing, will transform the station into an art space, and in the future, it will be an opportunity for art to spread from the station to the community.
