About the 19th Kyoto Student Festival

The Kyoto Student Festival is a major event that has been held every October since 2003 in the Okazaki Promenade area in front of Heian Jingu Shrine, and has attracted more than 100,000 visitors. It is a student-produced festival that can only be done by university students studying in Kyoto, a student town where 10% of the population is students.

On November 25, 2020, the Executive Committee of the 19th Kyoto Student Festival was newly established, and the theme of the 19th Kyoto Student Festival was also decided. I would like to pursue the form of a festival that can only be done in Kyoto, a city of students, and enliven Kyoto.

The 19th Kyoto Student Festival Theme

About the theme

Kyoto is a region that has preserved its ancient traditions. However, we are standing at the turn of the times, with the spread of the new coronavirus infection and the demand for a new way of life. Through this festival, we want to connect the culture that has been passed down so far with the culture that is born from the new normal. And by having people come into contact with the culture, we want to protect and connect all Kyoto culture to the future.

“Regional Co-Creation”

【For High School Teachers】”The 9th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” May 29 (Sat) Call for Participants

　
We are pleased to announce that the 9th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting will be held as follows.

This year marks the fourth year of the Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting. In order to provide a place for students to share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management and class improvement, and to interact with them to solve them, we have held them on themes that meet the needs of high schools. Now that we are entering a “development period” as a collaboration between high schools and universities, we would like to think together, connect with each other, and create plans in order to expand the circle between high schools and universities.

Therefore, this time, we will use this opportunity for high school teachers to commit to planning through frank exchanges and opinions between high school teachers and university faculty members regarding the planning of this year’s exchange event.

In addition, based on the opinions here, we will create a plan for the 10th and 11th exchange meetings. Let’s come up with a plan together.

We look forward to your active participation.
