Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee held a “Partner Exchange Meeting”!

We held our first initiative, “Partner Exchange Meeting”!

_MG_0095 　 _MG_0042

On Wednesday, May 24, we invited people from the government, companies, local communities, and universities who are indebted to the Kyoto Student Festival to participate in the Kyoto Student Festival, and held a partner exchange meeting on Wednesday, May 24.

At the exchange meeting, for those who came to the event, touch the Kyoto flame! In addition, we reported on the details of this year’s pre-event, the highlights of the October Main Festival (the day of the Kyoto Student Festival), the announcement of the main visual, and the collaboration with project partners. In addition, through the “Kyoto Tea Expo,” one of the cultural projects that the Kyoto Student Festival is collaborating with this year, we attended workshops on “Uji Tea Culture and History” and “Learning how to brew tea,” and since the executive committee members became “Premium Tea Ambassadors,” we also entertained visitors with tea brewed by the executive committee members.

We received words of support and encouragement from the government, companies, local communities, and universities who came to the event, and it seems that the students on the executive committee were even more energized. Thank you very much to everyone who attended.

The first pre-event of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival will be held on Sunday, June 4 at Kyoto Gakuen University’s Uzumasa Campus. Everyone, please come to the venue after inviting each other.

Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Project Started!　The first pre-event will be held on Sunday, June 4th in Ukyo Ward!

The Kyoto Student Festival is an opportunity for Kyoto students who transcend the boundaries of universities to collaborate with the business community, government, local communities, and universities, to disseminate “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalize the Kyoto region, and create new attractions.
I am working hard every day to achieve this goal.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Kyoto Student Festival. In Kyoto, which is called “Kyoto City of Students” with the theme of creating “Kyoto Student Culture”, students themselves become “culture”, learn about Kyoto’s culture, and
We will create a new culture with a student-like personality.
By connecting it to the main festival of the Kyoto Student Festival (held on October 8), which is the culmination of these efforts, we aim to make the festival more rooted in Kyoto and loved by people while demonstrating the student’s personality.
The first event, “15th Anniversary Festa in Ukyo feat. Subway Tozai Line 20th Anniversary,” will be held on Sunday, June 4 at Kyoto Gakuen University’s Kyoto Uzumasa Campus.
In addition to the Kyoen merry-go-round, which includes various cultures and holds a 360-degree parade that resembles a merry-go-round, a fashion show by international students in collaboration with the project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the return of Taisei, and the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Tozai Subway Line.
Mr./Ms. has a lot of project contents that can be enjoyed by everyone from small children to adults, such as a driver experience using a collaborative train simulator.
The University Consortium Kyoto supports the various activities that students carry out on a daily basis, and we will support them so that they can make the most of them at the culmination of the festival (October 8).
The students of the executive committee are also looking forward to seeing you, so please come to the venue.

【Closed】【For Students】Call for Entries for the 20th Kyoto International Student Film Festival Competition!! (~Until 4/28)

What is the Kyoto International Student Film Festival?

The Kyoto International Student Film Festival is the largest international student film festival in Japan and is now in its 20th year. Films and video works directed by a wide range of student directors, both in Japan and overseas, are solicited in a competition format, and the selected films are screened at the Kyoto International Student Film Festival (scheduled to be held in late November) and the best films are awarded.
Historically, Kyoto is a “movie town” that still inherits the cultural heritage of the early days of Japan cinema, and it is also a “university town and student town” where students account for 10% of the population of Kyoto City. The purpose of this festival is to create a place for international exchange and mutual understanding among student filmmakers and filmmakers, as well as to discover and disseminate new talents who will support the film industry in the future from among the many possibilities of student filmmakers.

【Introduction】Local cup noodles supervised by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee were released nationwide on 2/27 (Monday)!

Kyoto Student Festival collaborates with Nissin Foods Co., Ltd.’s local cup noodles

20170213-05 Supervised by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee, Nissin Foods Co., Ltd.’s Nissin Noodle Nippon series “Kyoto Back Fat Soy Sauce Ramen” has been on sale nationwide since Monday, February 27.

The “Nissin Noodle Nippon” series has been sold by Nissin Foods Co., Ltd. as a “local noodle brand that enlivens various noodle cultures rooted in various parts of Japan together with the community” so far.

This was the first attempt to be supervised by a student group, and the finished ramen was inspired by the Kyoto ramen style of “back fat chacha ramen” and topped with Kujo green onions unique to Kyoto. Kyoto students recognize it as a true “taste of Kyoto”. It is finished in a dish that we are proud of. It is sold at convenience stores and supermarkets nationwide, so if you are interested, please try it!

◆ Development (Comment by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee)

Approximately 100 university students who belong to the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee tasted the ramen and aimed for the taste of ramen that is unique to Kyoto from the students’ point of view. By being involved in the development of Kyoto’s local ramen, we have reaffirmed the charm of Kyoto’s ramen and the charm of Kyoto’s food culture, and the Kyoto Student Festival will convey the charm of Kyoto from a new aspect.
