About the results of the implementation of “Maruttoku in Ayabe”


gist

High school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture have fewer opportunities to learn about universities and interact with current university students than high school students in urban areas because there are no universities located nearby.
In addition, there are few opportunities to experience local history and culture and talk at length with people who work in the local area, and many young people graduate from high school without having an image of working and living in their hometown as adults, move to urban areas after graduating from high school, and start their careers as members of society in other areas after graduating from university.

Therefore, with the aim of developing the careers of high school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture and fostering human resources who will support the community, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held a workshop “Maruttoku in Ayabe” in Ayabe City, this time in Ayabe City, following on from Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City.

working adult 13 (residents of the former Toyosato Nishi Elementary School District, etc.)

Implementation Report

Once again, the university students were able to deepen their understanding of local history and culture through a tour of the Gunze Museum, a walk around the Shigago area, and a lecture by the director of the Ayabe Special Products Museum, before the actual performance of the next day.
The high school students seemed a little nervous in the morning, but gradually relaxed as they made pizza with the university students, and in the afternoon they participated in the dialogue with the university students and working adults with relaxed expressions. In addition, I was impressed by the enthusiasm of university students and working adults about their life stories so far, and the way they wrestled and actively asked questions. The participants were not only people who have lived in the local area for a long time, but also people who have made I-turns and U-turns, and they spoke frankly about what they feel on a daily basis, such as the charms and challenges of Ayabe and expectations for young people, which was a good stimulus for university and high school students.

Marutoku Work 2　　Whole Dialogue

Through this workshop, the high school students were able to reaffirm their dreams and goals, gain the courage to move toward their realization, and reaffirm the charm of Ayabe, while the university students developed their facilitation skills by leading the dialogue and gained new insights by looking back on their lives so far. Local residents also commented, “It was good to be able to talk with young people, and I would like to participate again.” It became a meaningful initiative for high school students, university students, and local residents.

We would like to brush up on the results of this fiscal year and continue to implement this project next year.

“Kyoto International Student Film Festival” website is now open!

Business Overview

This film festival is the largest international student film festival in Japan, planned and operated mainly by university students in the Kansai region, mainly in Kyoto. We aim to discover future filmmakers by creating opportunities for students to gather, judge, and screen independent films produced by students from all over the world.
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.
This festival aims to revitalize Kyoto by creating a place for international exchange and mutual understanding by discovering and introducing talents who can add new fields to cinema from among the many possibilities of films from around the world.

This time, the website of the Kyoto International Student Film Festival has been newly opened!

The 12th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum (Ishikawa) was held!

　
On Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13, the 12th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum was held at Kanazawa Institute of Technology (Nonoichi City, Ishikawa Prefecture) with the main theme of “The Role of Universities and New Developments in University Consortiums.”

As university consortiums are required to develop new ways amid major changes in the nature of universities, 310 people from higher education institutions and governments across the country focused on the role that universities play in community building through collaborative education with local communities and the regional revitalization activities of higher education institutions to prevent the collapse of local communities, and to consider ways that will lead to new development of the consortium. Thank you for your participation.

On the first day, under the theme of “Regional Revitalization and the Role of Universities,” we welcomed Hiroya Masuda, Visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Public Policy, to give a lecture on what kind of regional revitalization universities that play a major role in the region should undertake in the future from various perspectives. ▽Keynote speech ▽Keynote speaker: Hiroya

　In addition, at the symposium, four topics were presented from the standpoint of the government, university faculty members, and regional and university cooperation organizations: “The Role of Regional Revitalization and Local Communities,” “The Role of Universities in Regional Cooperation,” “Promotion and Future Development of the University Joint Education Promotion Project in Kyoto,” and “Community-based Societies and Universities.”
The poster session, which was held in parallel, was a great success, with many questions and comments from the participants about the efforts of each consortium organization, and there was a scene where exhibitors and participants actively interacted. ▽ Symposium discussion ▽ Poster session (21 exhibitors)


IMG_0607IMG_0935

　　　　　　　On the second day, six subcommittees were held on various themes related to universities and consortiums, such as “fostering human resources who will be responsible for regional revitalization and regional services” and “improving the environment for accepting international students in cooperation with local governments and regions.”

▽ Breakout Sessions (6 Breakout Sessions)
Workshop ▽ Case study report
