The “Gakumachi Collaboration Project” is a “learning town collaboration project” in which universities and students and the local community collaborate to recruit and support projects and projects that work on urban development and regional revitalization in Kyoto.
We would like to inform you of the efforts of this year’s selected organizations!

 

【Activities】Kyoto Women’s University, Kyoto University, Ryukoku University “Student Group K-Bond”
On Friday, August 16th, the “Keihoku Bon Odori Festa 2024“, a traditional summer event involving the student group K-Bond, was held, and we visited it!

This is the third year of the student organization K-Bond.
It is an organization consisting of students from Kyoto Women’s University, Ryukoku University, and Kyoto University.

Focusing on the situation where the number of Bon Odori performers is decreasing and is in danger of disappearing due to the rapidly declining birthrate and aging population in the Keihoku region, we are working with local residents to revitalize the area, preserve Bon Odori, and disseminate the appeal of Keihoku Bon Odori from a young perspective targeting young people.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The “Keihoku Bon Odori Festa” that we visited this time is held every year on August 16 to inherit Bon Odori, which is one of the cultures of Keihoku. Starting with Tamba Ondo, which is said to be “Joruri Kuzushi”, we will dance in Ondo, where the scenery and characteristics of each region such as Yamakuni, Yuge, Shuzan, and Utsu no Sato-Ondo are sung.
This year, about 12~13 students and working adults participated in the “Keihoku Bon Odori Festa” at the invitation of K-Bond, as well as members of other selected organizations who met at the exchange meeting of the Gakumachi Collaboration.
The gymnasium of the former Keihoku Daiichi Elementary School, the venue, was attended by many people, regardless of age or gender, and it was the first summer festival scene in a long time!

When I asked Mr. Nakano, a member of the student group K-Bond, about “interaction with local people,” he said,
“I regularly visit the Keihoku area, actively participate in Bon Odori practice, community gatherings and events, and enjoy my activities with the cooperation of many local people.

When the Bon Odori season is over, you will be introduced to the Bon Odori of Keihoku from a digital perspective, such as distributing it on YouTube and archiving the Bon Odori, as well as practicing Bon Odori and singing.

Please continue to work hard with the local people to convey the charm of Bon Odori in Keihoku!!



【Activities】Ritsumeikan University “Camo Cinema 19 Executive Committee”
On Saturday, August 24th, “Camo Cinema 19” was held at Aoi Park in Kamogawa, and I visited it!

The “Camo Cinema Executive Committee” is an organization that conducts cleanup activities and outdoor movie screenings on the riverbed of the Kamo River.
With the aim of instilling a long-term awareness of the beautification and conservation of the Kamo River among local residents, Kyoto residents, and young people, we have continued our activities to convey the charm of the Kamo River and create opportunities to protect it, and this year marks the 19th year.
It was established by volunteers from the Ritsumeikan University Advertising Research Group, and currently has about 40 members.

Speaking of “Camo Cinema”, last year it rained heavily before the movie screening, and the year before that, it rained heavily before the event, and this year as well, the clouds became suspicious from the evening, and it was about to rain, and lightning and thunder sounded, but somehow it ended safely without rain.

The following two events will be held before the outdoor film screening.
(1) Event for small children “Kamogawa de Play”
We asked clubs from other universities to exhibit various booths, such as a booth where children can enjoy and a booth where they can learn about the Kamo River, and about 50 people participated.

(2) Kamo River cleanup activity “Clean Hike”
This year, we focused on university students, and about 30 students (including several university staff and graduate students) participated in the cleanup activity together with volunteer groups in Kamogawa.

19:10 ~ “Outdoor movie screening” will be held.
This year, “River, Don’t Flow” produced by the theater company Europe was screened.
The film was decided on this film because it is set in Kifune in winter, it is set in Kyoto, it is very popular with the members of Camo Cinema, and it has a connection with the director and screenwriter of “River, Don’t Flow” last year.
In addition, there was also a strong desire from the leader Karibe to make the mood cool in the heat.
Audience members came one after another before the screening, and the seats that were prepared were filled up in no time! There were also families with small children and elderly couples. (There were about 300 visitors!) ）
The Kifune in the middle of winter projected on the screen made me feel even cooler.

Through this interview, I was very impressed by the way all the members of Kamo Cinema worked together to promote the operation, and I learned that there is a lot of support behind the scenes, including volunteer groups in Kamogawa, Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, and local restaurants. It was also impressive to see everyone watching over us warmly.

Please continue to do your best in the conservation activities of the Kamo River and activities to convey its charm!

 

 

 

 

 

 



【Activities】 Kyoto City University of Arts, Kyoto Seika University, Ryukoku University
『BORDER! Executive Committee”

11/24 (Sun), BORDER!The event held by the executive committee “BORDER!Art Festival 2024“!

「BORDER!The Executive Committee is made up of art students from the Kansai region, mainly Kyoto City University of Arts, and is responsible for planning, operating, and implementing art festivals.

The venue is “Demachi Masugata Shopping Street” in Kamigyo Ward.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　On the day of the event, it was a cold day with light rain falling and stopping, but there was an arcade in the shopping street and a roof, so I was able to enjoy the event without feeling cold!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　In the past, many events were held outdoors and there were concerns about the weather, but this year they decided on the “Demachi Masugata Shopping Street” because it is a place with a roof and there are art-related shops such as records and used books. (Leader: Mr. Tsukahara)

Nearby, there is a shop famous for bean daifuku and a famous mackerel sushi shop in the shopping street, and it is a shopping street with a lot of traffic, but on this day, many people, regardless of age or gender, locals and tourists, were enjoying the event with art works that are not often seen.

The theme of this year’s event is “Madoma”. The “in-between” of art peeking through the “window”.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　As the main event, a stamp rally will be held only on the day of the “Demachi Masugata Shopping Street ✕ BORDER! Art Festival”. Handmade stamps with the motif of shops in the shopping street were placed in front of the store, and if you collected all of them, you could win gift certificates and event goods that could be used in the shopping street.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 The handmade event goods were of high quality and all of them were cute goods that children would love!

Through the interview, BORDER!It was clear that the executive committee was working together with the people of the shopping district to hold the event. On the day of the event, the people of the shopping street were also working energetically together with the students, and I think that they contributed greatly to the revitalization of the shopping street.

In recent years, the decline of shopping streets has become a problem, but if there are more and more initiatives that lead to the revitalization of shopping streets and regional revitalization through collaboration between shopping streets and students… I think.

The event has ended, but the website of the event is wonderful every year, so please take a look!

【Activities】 Doshisha University, Ritsumeikan University, etc. Kyoto Student Theater Festival Executive Committee

On Sunday, September 10th, we visited the Kyoto Student Theater Festival 2023!

Held in the same Yosho district of Sakyo Ward as last year, a special outdoor stage resembling a “chrysalis,” a symbol of the Kyoto Student Theater Festival, caught the attention of passers-by.

The Kyoto Student Theater Festival will be held for a long time from 9/9 (Sat) ~ 16 (Sat) (with one day off in between), and it is a large-scale event with 9 participating groups. Last year, a wide range of people came to see the play, but this year, which was the second year the event was held here, the audience seats were so full that it was impossible to sit due to the establishment of the venue and the level of publicity of the event.

The planning and management of such large-scale events is carried out entirely by students.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　This time, a member of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department wrote an article about the appeal of a student-led theater festival to the chairman of the Kyoto Student Theater Festival Executive Committee.

Please take a look at the interview article!!

The main activity area is the Nakagawa School District, which is located in the northern part of Kita-ku, Kyoto City.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The Nakagawa School District is a production area of Kitayama cedar, but in recent years, it has become difficult to pass on the traditional forestry industry due to the aging of the population, and it is losing its vitality, so students are involved in the revitalization of the area. As one of our initiatives, we manufacture and sell craft beer “Kyoto Nakagawa Manma Bea!”

The “manmacha” used in beer is a tea that has been cultivated in the Nakagawa School District, but it is said to be close to the old type of tea, and it is a slightly bitter and flavorful tea.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Manma tea is produced together with residents, and the subsequent beer production and sales are sold online and in stores with the cooperation of welfare offices.
This time, we visited Otani University to observe the process of attaching labels to bottles of “Manma Bea”.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Leading up to this process, there is a work process of picking and sorting, steaming, and roasting manmacha, and then you are asked to brew it. According to Mr. Dehara of Otani University And House, the taste changes depending on how the tea is brewed, so it is difficult to keep the result consistent every year.

About 200 jars with labels (it was a long label!) It is a difficult task that requires patience, but when I saw that everyone worked together to make bottles with labels one after another, I felt the goodness of teamwork.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I think the joy of having something we have created become a product and sold in stores is great.

Through the purchase of beer, the price of the tea leaves will be returned to the community welfare activities in the Nakagawa area. Otani University And House also conducts monthly activities to interact with residents, such as quizzes and brain training.

I’m looking forward to the sale of “Manma Bea” again this year! The taste is that the taste of tea spreads softly at the beginning, and the bitterness of beer is less. It seems to be easy for women to drink.

Kyoto Seika University “City, People and Music” Seminar

10/21 (Sat) I visited the [Ichijoji Fest Autumn Festival] where the seminar “City, People and Music” seminar will hold a workshop!

Speaking of Ichijoji Temple,

・ The image of “ramen” is too strong, and other attractions are not conveyed.

There is a temperature difference between long-time residents and newly moved residents.

This issue emerged from a questionnaire targeting shopkeepers at Ichijoji Temple.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　We want to solve such problems and revitalize regional exchanges! In addition to this, we decided to hold the workshop because we wanted to promote exchange with the local community by having people come into contact with music, taking advantage of the strengths of the “City, People and Music” seminar, where there are many students majoring in musical expression.

On the day of the event, it was a refreshing autumn sun, and the venue was Ichijoji Park, which was crowded with people from Mr./Ms. from the morning. There were a lot of food stalls, fair-day corners, stage events, workshop events, etc., and many families with small children came Mr./Ms.. According to the organizers, the number of visitors was about 3,000.

In the workshop “Fun to make and play with sound” in the seminar “City, People and Music,” the participants were asked to make four types of musical instruments (a kalimba made from hairpins, a flute made from straws, a bracelet made with beads in a tube, and a drum made from paper tubes and balloons) and enjoyed playing with sound with the instruments, which was a great success with parents and children who enjoyed playing musical instruments.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　In order to prevent children from getting injured or accidentally ingested by the instrument, and to make it easier to make, the material, shape, size, etc. were repeated many times. Thanks to such efforts, when I was interviewing the representative Mr./Ms. Ogawa on the day of the workshop, children visited the workshop one after another, and it was so successful that the interview was interrupted each time.

In addition to holding workshops, the seminar on “City, People, and Music” also participates in garbage picking activities at Ichijoji Temple. Therefore, he said that he is deepening exchanges with local people.

Please continue to do your best to revitalize Ichijoji Temple!!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

【Activities】Kyoto City University of Arts, Kyoto Seika University BORDER! Executive Committee

On Saturday, November 25th, I went to the art festival “BORDER!2023“!

This year’s venue is Rissei Garden Hulic Kyoto (formerly Kyoto Municipal Takakura Elementary School).　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　It was held near the Takase River in Shijo.

「BORDER!The Executive Committee, whose members are mainly art university students in the Kansai region, plans, operates, and implements art festivals with the main objectives of creating opportunities for citizens to come into contact with art and fostering young artists.

This year’s live paint was double the number of installations last year, making it a sight to behold. In addition, for the first time in a long time, a kitchen car was arranged, a space for eating and drinking was prepared, and the marche, which was mainly Mr./Ms. students, was crowded with many people.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The artist of the live painting was commissioned by a student of an art university in Kyoto Prefecture, Mr./Ms.! It was truly a sight to behold as he completed the painting on a canvas that was taller than his own height in four hours.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　On the morning of the day, the weather was not favorable, and it rained on and off repeatedly, and it seems that the cancellation of the live event was considered, but it was decided somehow, and all the painters Mr./Ms. wore raincoats and did their best to draw. It was impressive that a bottle was placed in front of the painting so that you could throw money to the picture that you felt was wonderful.

In the participatory art, acrylic sheets that were scheduled to be discarded during the Corona disaster were collected and reused as canvases. Children were happily drawing pictures on the large acrylic board, and many families with children could be seen. Around the acrylic plate, cardboard art works of unique animals are displayed, and BORDER!It seems that it was created at an event held at the Kitaoji Aeon Mall led by the team.

Many of the website designs and posters for venue information are also tasteful, and I felt that they were truly a creator group.

We look forward to more events in the future where you can get close to art!

【Activities】Ryukoku University, Hanazono University, Kyoto Women’s University, etc.

On Saturday, December 9th, in the Kamishichiken and Daikokucho areas of Kamigyo-ku, the “Miyako Light” light-up event was held for Kyomachiya, which aims to preserve traditional techniques and culture for the future, and we visited it! This is the second interview following last year’s interview.

This year marks the 19th year of the Miyako Light program, and the executive committee consists of 15 university students from Kyoto and Osaka. While many organizations are struggling to recruit members, when I asked the representative, Mr./Ms. Otaka, how they recruit members, he replied that they analyze the characteristics of each SNS and use it appropriately for recruitment. I didn’t know that it was analyzed so closely, and I was able to learn more about the approach to the event through the interviews.

At the actual event, due to the easing of Corona regulations, there were events that everyone could enjoy, regardless of age or gender, such as the sale of event-limited “Miyako Light Original Cake” in collaboration with local shops, an exhibition of milk carton lanterns created with local children, and a photo rally event, and it was impressive that there were more families than last year. In addition, the members of Miyako Light thought about the sounds reminiscent of machiya, recorded the voices of children in the area and the sounds of looms, etc., and incorporated them into the music. At the event venue, music with a relaxation effect was played to match the illumination.

In addition, from this year, the executive committee members of the event wore matching jumpers so that they could be easily recognized. I was able to feel the consideration given to making it easier for local residents and participants to talk to me, and the unity of the team.

Every year, with the cooperation of the shops and local residents, I am impressed that such a large-scale event is held by students alone. It was a relaxing event where you could feel the warmth as well as the wonderful lighting. You can also take photos that look good on SNS Mr./Ms.!

This year’s event has come to an end, but please take a look at the activities of “Miyako Light” on the following site!

Mr./Ms. Hayashida was the youngest of the past performers of “Policy Media,” but it was wonderful to see her give a presentation with dignity and respond to various questions from Mr. Chikano by firmly conveying her own opinions.

It was strongly conveyed that this was a presentation and policy proposal that had been created through the efforts of the team.
