This time, the Kyoto Student Exchange Division of the University Consortium held a study session titled “Facility Support for Students with Disabilities ~Thinking about Accessibility~” with the aim of providing a place for facility managers at each school to exchange opinions with a focus on “Facility Support for Students with Disabilities.”
At the beginning of the session, Mr. Jun Murata (Associate Professor, Center for Student Support, Kyoto University, Chief Coordinator of the Support Room for Students with Disabilities) and Mr. Satoshi Yoshida (Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University) gave lectures on laws and systems to support students with disabilities, as well as sharing case studies on facilities in Japan and overseas.

summary
This time, we held a study session titled “Facility Support for Students with Disabilities ~Thinking about Accessibility~” with the main participants in charge of university facilities, rather than those in charge of supporting students with disabilities. The capacity of 15 people was filled, and there were participants from large universities, small universities, art universities, and other prefectures, and wheelchair users Eiji Yamamoto (President, iCollaboration, a specified non-profit organization) and Chika Sekine (Visiting Professor, Social Innovation Course, Graduate School of Policy Sciences, Faculty of Policy Studies, Doshisha University) also participated as guests.
After the presentation of the topic, a group discussion was held, including the sharing of case studies from each school. From the perspective of being in charge of supporting students with disabilities, there were opportunities to share case studies and experiences at the Kansai Conference of Persons in Charge of Support for Students with Disabilities (KSSK), but there have never been opportunities for facility staff to gather from the perspective of “support for students with disabilities,” and participants were seen actively exchanging opinions, such as questions they had felt on a daily basis and reaffirming their own school’s initiatives.
At the information exchange meeting that followed, they were seen talking about the challenges and future of each university.
The University Consortium Kyoto plans to continue to develop initiatives to support students with disabilities from various perspectives.

【Activities】Environmental protection of Fushimi Fukakusa and Higashitakase River and Jizo Bon Project
We would like to introduce the efforts of the “Ryukoku University-Higashitakase River Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team” adopted this year.
The Ryukoku University’s Higashi-Takase River Environmental Protection and Jizo Bon Project Team is planning and implementing a Jizo Bon in Fushimi Ward in Fushimi Ward that allows everyone from children to the elderly to actively participate in the development of environmental protection through cleanup activities on the Higashi-Takase River together with local organizations, neighborhood associations, neighborhood associations, and students of Fushimi Technical High School.
We have received an activity report on this year’s Jizo Basin, so please take a look.
“This year’s bamboo lanterns are handmade by students, high school students, and local residents [Friday, July 14]”
The last year of Kyoto Municipal Fushimi Technical High School, which has been working on environmental issues in the Higashi-Takase River for a long time, our students, and local residents gathered to make bamboo lanterns by hand for this year’s Jizo Bon Festival. We learned from local Mr./Ms., and together with high school and university students, we were able to make 40 pieces in one and a half hours.
Bamboo lanterns are made in collaboration with high school students, university students, and local residents, and the results of collaborative work are lit up on the Higashitakase River at night on the Jizo Basin. Now, the Jizo Bon in Kawakubo Town seems to have become firmly established as a “bamboo lantern” on the Higashi-Takase River.
“Jizo Bon in Kawakubo Town [Saturday, August 19th] “
This year’s bamboo lanterns are handmade in collaboration with students, high school students, and local residents. When the scraps were combined to draw the words “Kawakubo Town”, everyone in the area was delighted with this surprise, Mr./Ms. the community.
The popular fireworks in the evening, the watermelon hollowed-out floop punch, and of course, the bamboo lanterns from the Higashi-Takase River have now become the main event of the Kawakubo-cho Jizo Bon and many people enjoyed.
When the children’s favorite anime song plays, everyone starts singing. Mr./Ms. Tozaki, who played the story, received a big round of applause from everyone. We felt a sense of accomplishment as the venue came together through our project.

PC Taker Training Course (Beginner) in Doshisha University March 8 (Thu)
With the cooperation of the Disability Student Support Office of the Doshisha University Student Support Center, the University Consortium Kyoto will hold a “PC (PC) Taker Training Course (Beginner Edition) in Doshisha University” for beginners with the aim of introducing them to “PC Take”.
In recent years, many students with disabilities have been enrolled, and various types of support are provided at the university. For students with hearing impairments, “note-taking” and “PC taking” are the mainstream of support, using notebooks and PCs to convey information in lectures. In particular, “PC Take” is characterized by the ability to convey more written information than handwriting when you become an advanced player.
This time, with the cooperation of the Doshisha University Disability Student Support Office, Mr. Mr./Ms., a student staff member who is actually involved in support as a PC taker, will conduct a course arranged by Doshisha University for beginners that is actually held for students at their own school.Students who are interested in PC taking or are currently working on PC take, as well as faculty and staff who are interested in the efforts of other universities, Mr./Ms. are welcome to participate。 (The PDF data of the flyer isHere）

Looking Back on the 2017 Kyoto Student Festival
Looking back on the 15th Kyoto Student Festival 2017
Outline of the event
- ■The 15th Kyoto Student Festival Theme
- ■ Activity Goals
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kyoto Student Festival, which began in 2003. This year, in order to create a festival that is on a par with Kyoto’s three major festivals, we have been working on activities that approach various cultures under the theme of “Creating a New Culture, ‘Kyoto Student Culture.'”
The 15th Kyoto Student Festival
For one year, the 15th Kyoto Student Festival has been working on the activities of “rediscovering Kyoto culture and international culture,” “fusing student character and culture,” and “widely disseminating the charm of Kyoto student culture.” In particular, this year’s event was an unprecedentedly rich year for the Kyoto Student Festival, as we were able to actively engage in activities in collaboration with the Kyoto Cultural Power Project, which is developed by Kyoto Prefecture and Kyoto City, where we learned about culture from cultural figures from Kyoto who are active in the world on the 15th of every month and arranged them from the perspective of students. In this way, we were able to create a unique student culture for the festival while increasing the number of partners, and as a result, we were able to get closer to the “Four Great Festivals of Kyoto,” which are on a par with the three major festivals in Kyoto.

The Kyoto Student Festival aims to be a “festival” that is loved by the community and rooted in the community, and conducts daily exchange activities throughout the year together with the local community.
In 2017, in addition to our previous activities, we held a large-scale pre-event titled “Anniversari Festa” and took on various challenges to realize the purpose of the activities of the Kyoto Student Festival.
♦ Commemorative Projects

♦ Community Exchange Activities
- Nighttime patrols to protect the safety of the community (twice a month) Kyoto Okazaki and Anning area
- Cleanup activities aimed at beautifying the area (about once a month) Kyoto Okazaki, Anning, Umeya, Sanjo area, Kamogawa

Student Support
Student Growth Programs
The University Consortium Kyoto supports students’ daily activities based on the principle of “creating their own initiative,” and hopes that “interaction” and “experience” with a wide variety of people in contact through independent activities will lead to new “awareness” and “learning” that will lead to student growth.
Specifically, we have adopted the PDCA cycle method, which treats student activities as a single project, and focuses on achieving results by working toward a single goal for each department. With the goal of smooth execution of activities, improvement of projects, and continuous development of businesses, we are working to create a system that promotes the growth of students by promoting the following support methods.

Implementation Report
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kyoto Student Festival. I have been working hard every day under the theme of “Creating a ‘Kyoto Student Culture'”. On Sunday, October 8th, students who are active in various fields such as fashion, music, and food gathered here in Kyoto to create a festival unique to them, and the “trajectory” of the Kyoto Student Festival over the past 15 years.
In addition to the overwhelming odori “Kyo Flame Sodefure!”, music and fashion contests, fair-day projects where you can enjoy Kyoto’s food culture, and children’s projects that even small children can enjoy.
The Foundation, which plays a role in the Kyoto Student Festival Organizing Committee, in addition to providing support for the festival, sees the year-long activities as opportunities for student growth and develops a support system throughout the year. In particular, this year was also the 15th anniversary of the event, and it was a pre-large-scale activity that involved many commemorative projects, including the anniversary festival. In the visitor survey, it was found that these year-round efforts did not directly attract customers. However, I feel that the one-year activity experience has led to the students’ confidence and learning. As we mark the end of this milestone and the 16th anniversary, we will continue to assess the capabilities and potential of the executive committee (especially the students who serve as executive staff) and develop a system to support the executive committee so that it can continue to be the 20th and 30th anniversaries. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to all those who supported us in various ways in holding this project.
