Report: The 16th Kansai Roundtable Meeting of Support Personnel for Students with Disabilities (KSSK)

The 16th Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable Meeting

On March 3, the Kansai Disability Student Support Officer Roundtable (KSSK) was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto, with the aim of interacting with people in charge of disability support at universities in the Kansai region.
　
For the 16th time, we invited the person in charge of actually providing support from Wakayama University and Ryukoku University, which have developed support systems for students with disabilities over the past few years, to talk about the current situation and issues in the field. In addition, the subcommittees were divided into two groups each on the three themes of “Support Practices,” “Career Support,” and “Support Systems (Guidelines, etc.),” and exchanged opinions on how to support students with disabilities in small groups.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities that will come into effect in April 28, 70 people participated, exceeding the originally planned capacity of 60 people, including not only disability support staff, but also educational staff and career managers. While the participants received positive comments such as “It was good to hear about the specific development of the system because there were issues with support and maintenance” and “Since it was a subcommittee of the same size university, there were many common issues and it was very helpful,” while others expressed their awareness of future issues, such as “I want to know how to support practical training” and “How can I gain the understanding of faculty and staff?”

We will continue to plan and consider the meeting so that it functions as a place for various universities, departments, and personnel to exchange opinions and interact. The next meeting is scheduled to be held around September 2016. Once the content of the event has been decided, it will be announced on the website of the University Consortium Kyoto.

Providing topics about the university’s initiatives In the subcommittees, the people in charge share their worries with each other.

Ms. Takamiko Reizumi Mr. Toru Yagi

Kyoto’s cultural heritage is famous for its shrines and temples, such as Heian Jingu Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but we must never forget that the common people living in Kyoto cherish the shrines and Mr./Ms. in each town. It is the Shunseisha that enshrines Fujiwara Toshinari. The Mr./Ms. of the Machikado gods and the Buddha Mr./Ms. are small and nameless, but they have a history of being protected by the townspeople for generations. Isn’t this the underlying strength of Kyoto’s culture?

【Finished】Kyoto Student Festival 2016 Regional Revitalization Project Call for Affiliated Organizations

Business Overview

Students from Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, form an executive committee and engage in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalizing the Kyoto area, and creating new attractions in collaboration with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as activities to disseminate the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and regional cooperation events, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and supports “student independence” so that students can think and act on their own, and supports the students to make the most of what they have accumulated in the course of their activities for one year since the establishment of the Executive Committee in November every year.

FY2016 Regional Revitalization Project

↑ Click to download the flyer ↑

The Kyoto Student Festival has a strong image of a festival centered on odori held in the Okazaki area every October, but in addition to this, we also carry out various activities on a daily basis, such as regional exchange and international exchange, with the aim of “disseminating the charm of Kyoto” and “revitalizing the region.” However, in order to further realize activities in line with these objectives, it is necessary to have a partner who can work hand in hand, not just the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee.
Therefore, we will recruit organizations (partners) that want to “enliven the community together with students” and “want to further convey the appeal of the community with the perspectives and power of students” and promote collaborative projects in a single year. However, the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee is also limited in terms of budget, time, and capacity, and it is expected that the number of organizations that will be rejected or adopted may be infinitely small. Despite this situation, we are looking forward to seeing organizations that can feel the significance of the “Student City Kyoto” created through the collaboration of industry, academia, and the public community, and apply to realize their goals.

【Application Closed】Call for Researchers for the 2016 University Consortium Kyoto Designated Research Project

　
The University Consortium Kyoto (hereinafter referred to as the “Foundation”) has established designated research topics and conducts research by researchers in specialized fields with the aim of contributing to the improvement and review of projects, as well as new development and sophistication. This time, we are looking for researchers (research groups) who will work on the 2016 designated research project as follows.

Foundation-designated research project

We are looking for researchers to work on the following designated research projects. We look forward to receiving applications from more researchers. For details, please check the application guidelines below.

“Research on the Role of the University Consortium Kyoto, a University Collaborative Organization for University Support for Students with Disabilities“

Background on the theme

With the reasonable accommodation provisions of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities scheduled to come into effect in April 2016, the prohibition of discriminatory treatment of persons with disabilities and the prohibition of non-provision of reasonable accommodations will be mandatory at national universities and efforts at private universities.

However, there are many issues, such as the fact that each student’s disability is different, the needs associated with it are diverse, the need for support at the time of enrollment, during school (study and student life), and job hunting, and the need for support across departments within the university.

Currently, each university is accumulating knowledge and examples of reasonable accommodations that should be provided to each university, but there is a limit to the efforts of individual universities alone to respond to a wide variety of disabilities and a wide range of needs, and it is considered necessary to cooperate with the relevant departments of each school and to have a mechanism for sharing information.

Therefore, this time, we will conduct a fact-finding survey of the efforts of the Foundation’s member schools and advanced cases in other countries and regions, identify issues and understand their needs, and use them as clues to consider the role and direction that the Foundation should play in supporting students with disabilities.

Outline of the research sought

(1) Survey on the actual situation of support for students with disabilities at Foundation member schools.
・Examples of initiatives
・Implementation system
・Issues, etc.
(2) Collection of case studies of advanced universities and inter-university collaboration organizations in other countries and regions.
(3) Based on the above, propose specific initiatives that the Foundation, which is an inter-university collaborative organization, should implement in support for students with disabilities.

Image of utilization of research results

(1) Establish a collaborative organization that connects university departments that provide support for students with disabilities, external support organizations, companies, and governments.
(2) Development of seminars and training programs for the Foundation’s member members (schools, governments, and economic organizations).
(3) Utilization for dealing with students with disabilities in Foundation projects involving students.

Eligibility

Assume that you meet the following requirements:

・Surveys and research by individuals or groups will be conducted.

・The researcher (in the case of a group, the principal investigator) must be a full-time faculty member of a university or junior college affiliated with the Foundation.

・Researchers or members of the group shall have a high level of expertise in the content of the designated research topic.

・After adoption, a contract research contract will be concluded between the researcher’s university or junior college and the foundation, and the department in charge of the research and research expenses will be managed by the department in charge of the researcher (in the case of a group). When applying, please coordinate with the department in charge of your university in advance.
